We can feel this pain, can’t we?

Not going to run today and probably won’t make it to the gym. And strongly wanted to do both.

Haven’t been to the gym for a core workout in 10 days. Running has been infrequent. Blame it on a heavy workload.

There’s a reveal (in three more blogs) of what happened at the gym yesterday, for those of us who know how to get there.

One was doing a plank using a sturdy chair on one side and a sturdy table on the other.

The other quickly came over and said, dude, that’s not safe.

The first one finished the plank and then said, dude, this wouldn’t be safe for you, but for a world class athlete, not a problem.

Upon hearing the words come out of his mouth, in defense of his behavior – he had a profound moment.

Keeping a lid on your strengths builds a great defense, should one ever be required… or if one is simply triggered by an inaccurate stereotype and you’re feeling like you’ve had enough.

Spent yesterday in class with 30 extraordinarily bright business people learning why being insanely intentional about the operational details of a business is key to outperforming the competition.

And then during a break, in the midst of a casual hallway conversation, “But you don’t need to worry about your weight”.

Knowing full well it would fall on deaf ears, said it anyway, “I worry about my weight every single day, and am insanely intentional about the details, that’s why it looks like there’s no need to worry”.

Sigh.

And then smile.
