How long do you plan for?

Apple watch
During this 3-hour excursion, walked seven miles. There were stops (clock keeps ticking) along the way for pull-ups, planks, dips, animal observations. The no-gym gym workout took an additional 20-30 minutes before leaving home to walk.

While walking this morning, thought of friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors who’ve committed to an exercise regime.

At least a 40-year observation.

And then some questions reflexively began, effortlessly:

  1. How long do you plan to exercise?
  2. How long do you plan to eat better?
  3. How long do you plan to get better rest?

There’s only one smart, over-focused answer.

i don’t even need to say it.

How many years is your active streak?

Lane 8, in the finals, at the world championships. You can come in dead last and still be the 8th fastest in the world.

How many years have you been consistently exercising, eating well and resting well? 

It’s been 22 for me.

You ain’t much fun, bro

Most of the time I don’t have much fun. The rest of the time I don’t have any fun at all.

People think i love to run. If you’re lucky, half your life exercise will feel like a get-to-do and the other half will feel like a have-to-do. Aim for a minimum of 51% get to and 49% have to.

There have been months, even years, where exercise and running was 95% pure joy. And there were months, even years, where it was a slog. Embrace with gratitude that you have a body that works.

Do you play to the buzzer?

Played the sunset until the buzzer. When the pinks, oranges, and reds turned to grey, the mosquitoes were the buzzer.

Do you play to the buzzer?

The only time it makes sense to play to the buzzer is when the game is close.

But what about when the opposing team has an insurmountable lead?

Then what?

And why?

Warren Buffett wellness

Finished Bob’s Masterclass last night. Was it worth $90? For me, yes. Why? It reinforced what i already know about him.

Bob Iger used to sit on the board of ABC Capital Cities with Warren Buffett.

Bob tells the story that Warren said when you hire someone you should hire for three things:

  1. brains
  2. energy
  3. integrity

If the candidate has two out of three but lacks integrity, the first two will kill you.

Same with wellness, except the opposite.

If you lack integrity for physical vibrancy, no amount of brains nor energy will convince you to become physically vibrant.
