Starting year 18, body

Starting year 18 of daily blogging today, obviously.

And with additional reflection on starting things, this is my 27th consecutive year of pursuing physical vibrancy as a daily focus.

In 27 years, never going more than 10 days without exercise.

The obvious, and recent major exception is the six-month couch-potato-mandate from my retina surgeon, after back to back retina surgeries in one month in 2023.

Grateful for this present moment’s reflective consciousness.

18th year eve, body

To produce consistent, long-term results you must do the reps.

Repetition.

Key success factor.

With physical vibrancy.

With writing.

While blogging on this site began in 2008, the daily streak without missing a single day began April Fools Day 2009.

Yet here we are. March 31, 2026.

In the history of daily blogging, i had at one time never written five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

A crazy idea appeared.

How about committing to a ridiculous, lofty goal to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts for 100 consecutive days?

And, let’s pick an equally crazy calendar day to commemorate, and perhaps validate, my absurdity.

If it wasn’t for a 30-year old goal, long abandoned and forgotten about, that became a new-found desire to do what i promised to do 30 years prior…

When did you write your first blog post?

Daily, before heading out for a run.

But the original first blog post?

Had to dig a little….

Started preparing for the website infrastructure in 2007.

Opened a GoDaddy account in early 2008.

Started buying domain names immediately.

The two photos above reveal MidLifeCelebration and Lane8 began November 2008.

This is fun to write about.
