i was about to break a promise

Orlando Fall foliage — Yesterday while running out of our neighborhood.

Disney University — About 3.5 miles from home to DU.

Disney's Contemporary Resort Convention Center — My old stomping grounds: Disney’s Contemporary Resort Convention Center.

Disney's Contemporary Resort — A crisp, sunny January morning.

Hours after a nine-mile run, and lunch, had the privilege to get a gym workout in too.

With a busy schedule, it almost didn’t happen. And i almost accepted my fate.

Spontaneous creativity happened, because i really didn’t want to break a promise to myself.

Felt amazing to not skip.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

This website is about our physical health. To easily and safely leave this site to read today’s post on jeff’s spiritual health website, click here.

You sound over-scheduled, good luck

Apple Watch Sport — Up at 4:35am to make it all work.

She’s 92. She needs heart ablation surgery to repair her heart.

The surgeon, scheduled for two months from now, has an opening in three days.

Her husband is 89 and cannot walk. He relies on 24-hour nursing care.

They live in the same Senior Facility but in two separate wings, based on their health.

Cheryl will be in Allentown for 10 days to assist her Mom before and after surgery.

We are leaving in a few minutes for the hour drive to the airport. Then an hour drive home.

Hoping to begin an hour-long run by 7am so i can take our 8th-grader to school at 8am.

Running is important, in spite of the time pressures, because it mitigates many unhealthy side effects (from inactivity) that crop up over the decades.

This doesn’t happen very often or does it?

(photo: Even after fumbling to take the photo, the first mile still clocked in under eight minutes. The warmup mile is never this fast.)

This doesn’t happen very often or does it?

We promised we were going to exercise today. But then the day starts slipping away and it looks impossible. We literally resign ourselves to defeat. Again.

An opportunity, or two, may appear (teasing us) but it’s quickly stolen by something pressing.

And then. And then something happens. We dig in and refuse to be defeated.

And the workout, run, or whatever, is better than we’ve had in months.

A little sore this morning. Cool.

Keep moving forward.

An exceptional week of zero exercise

(photo: Yesterday during a rare lunch time stroll through Disney’s Yacht Club Resort main lobby.)

An exceptional week of zero exercise is normal for many, but you?

Not only is this the final week of employment at Walt Disney World, Cheryl has been gone unexpectedly all week on a family emergency.

Add in 6am report times all week too.

This week of no exercise will be the exceptional exception.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

(photo: free health tests are a few button pushes and a few minutes long – at Walmart)

Medicating ourselves with busy-ness so as to avoid exercising, annual exams, facing the truth on how we have let ourselves go…

This is a perfect example of leadership not having a clue.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

Live like you mean it.

Most of us will never change.

Imagine working for a boss like that.

Do everything in your power to not let it affect your art.
