The smallest of metaphors

Drawing of lower leg muscles, rear view.
First person i see at gym was Charles, a personal trainer and decent artist. He says it’s my soleus.

 

The smallest of metaphors happened yesterday four miles into a planned seven miler.

An easy run with a pace fluctuating between 8-10 minutes per mile, a small pop in lower right calf. Did i tear a muscle? Felt like it. Walked (gingerly at first) the remaining three miles.

The metaphor?

Out of nowhere, something happens that we never saw coming, carrying with it the power to derail our plans – in this case, derailing hopes of ramping up my speed work.

In real life, it could be a bring-you-to-your-knees wakeup call.

No warning.

Caught off guard.

Changes everything, and potentially floods overwhelmes us with regret.

The power in quitting the waiting game

Orlando based keynote speakers
LAX Airport would look like this if employees quit working. Seems obvious.

 

What if i had not begun running one mailbox a day for a week back in April 1999?

Where would my health be today?

The cross i bear from a lifetime at Disney…

Lane 8 on College Track
Lane 8 is a metaphor for life. To become the slowest of the fastest.

 

The cross i bear from a lifetime at Disney is that i thoroughly understand how to articulate a clear, concise, and compelling personal (or corporate) health vision, but struggle with sounding like a radical, over-zealous know-it-all.

And not only do i understand the recipe, i have used it successfully so many times, it literally makes me ill that others make excuses for not following it.

Christmas festivities will be filled with so much food it’s literally overwhelming

Marijuana socks
Two days ago waiting at Quest Diagnostics for a blood draw.

 

Back in the day (pre-1900), merely living was exercise enough. And you ate whatever you could find.

Today’s traditional Christmas festivities will be filled with so much food it’s literally overwhelming. Doubtful many of us will exercise today. Hoping to be an exception.
