Features and benefits, right?

Features and benefits, right?

There is a long history of following the proven formula.

What we often forget is that at one time, the current formula wasn’t the proven formula, something else was.

Few, if any, remember the old way.

Why?

Because the new way is so much better. No one would ever go back to the old way.

Who’s ready, right now, to trade in their iPhone 7 for a flip-phone?

Remember when the first flip phones were the best mobile phones the world had ever seen?

And so it goes.

The outliers already know there’s a better way. Their biggest challenge is having the guts to press on in spite of the acceptance of the current, and alluringly comfortable way of doing things.

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.

 

Mixing it up at the gym

relaxing in Orlando pool
A cold front is arriving today, so i enjoyed the warm water two days ago, knowing the water will cool dramatically.

 

Mixing it up at the gym.

Two weeks ago, i made a simple decision to mix up my workouts.

To make it easy (at first) i am not doing new exercises, but i am playing around with the weight and repetitions.

Big picture – heavier weights, fewer reps, alternating with some days doing the tried and true routine.

Can already feel an increase in strength.

This is motivating in a way the “stale” routine no longer delivers on.

There were so many broken promises

Apple Watch health app
Yesterday morning’s run was 4.35 miles, and a half-mile walk cool down. Have been running 17 years now.

 

There used to be a time when i would make weight-loss and get healthy goals this time of year.

Ha.

Finally found the solution…

April Fool’s Day 1999, i began running one mailbox a day for a week, then added an additional mailbox distance (100 meters) with each passing week. It was one month before i jogged the equivalent of one lap around a track.

There’s a new, second reason why i drive to run

Historically, the only time i drive to run is for a 5k race.

But we left the house at 5:40am this morning to drive to a Saturday High School Cross Country practice. That’s a new reason to drive to run – being part of a team.

Otherwise, i’m not a fan of driving to run. Time is precious.

PS. The 16-year old (as of yesterday) set two PR’s this morning:

  1. Longest continuous run time at 31:30.
  2. Longest distance without walking at 2.5 miles.

The beauty of unpredictability

The beauty of unpredictability.

It can crush us or it can push us to become better.

The road to excellence has no finish line.

Always make the choice to find opportunity in adversity.

Always.

Felt the real issue was going to be price. Apparently from my inside source, it’s not. Very cool, this is great news.

Didn’t see that one coming.
