Run for cover

Cross Florida Bicycle patch
Remember how healthy you were in 1985? Found this participation patch last week while cleaning the garage. Completed the one-day, 170-mile ride in 1985 and 1986; the second and third years after moving permanently to Florida in 1984.

 

The attack on our attitude doesn’t end there, the attack also targets our physical wellbeing.

Run for cover…

Or walk, dance, bike, stretch, swim, etc.

With so many pressures on your time and motivation, what are you doing to stay active, rest adequately, and consume a balanced and healthy diet?

i can’t get over how so many people quit

WPS Cross Country practice
Last night at WPS High School…Cross Country practice.

 

i can’t get over how so many people quit. i used to be one of them.

  • Not eating a balanced diet (common sense, right?)
  • Not getting regular exercise (more common sense, no?)
  • Not focusing on consistently adequate rest (common sense, not common practice)

And then most of these same people (that was me too) expect others to “have a clue” about a this particular issue or that  particular issue.

Dear Son, get your own house in order, and let others make their choices without any judgement from you.

This kind of schedule is preparation for balancing life

Notes from meeting
Notes from Parents Cross Country meeting four days ago.

 

He missed the entire first week of Cross Country practice because he was on a family vacation in Glacier National Park.

Monday and Friday practices will be 6:00-7:30am.

Yikes.

Because of the sub-tropical heat, Tuesday and Thursday practices will be after school, but late after school, 6:00-7:30pm. And Wednesday will be strength training form 5:30-7:00pm.

This is going to be a significant challenge not only physically, but from a balance perspective as well.

Intentional off day yesterday because it was Sunday. While our bodies rested, our spirits worked overtime.

Success can be defined as living intentionally

Success can be defined as living intentionally. You know, thinking about what you want out of life and striving through life’s ups and downs to get it.

It also involves tremendous creativity in handling unplanned surprises, setbacks, and failures.

For instance, someone who devotes great time and attention to eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting adequate rest will fare much better than someone who lives it up and follows their pleasures.

Throughout life, both people will go through hell because it’s unavoidable.
