Two miles is better than nothing

Best Disney Leadership Conference Speakers
“What is your strength?”

 

Two miles is better than nothing. It surely is. So yesterday at 5:30am, i took what i could get.

What we lack in distance, we make up by feeding our resolve to never quit.

Note: Speakers are generally the first to arrive and the last to leave. Long days (and early morning start times) are not conducive to exercise.

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.

Desire is never in doubt, and it is never enough

Branding of the hurdles for the Track & Field team does what?

 

New Year’s resolutions fail because of one insidiously overlooked reason. We think we can wave a magic wand and become the thing we want to become by flicking the proverbial switch.

One single day (January 1) on a calendar is the proverbial switch. New year, new me. Right?

It’s foolish to take stock in desire, without taking stock in commitment.

Desire isn’t the issue, commitment is.

Until we accept this brutal reality – that we aren’t truly committed – we will continue the self-fulfilling prophecy that New Year’s resolutions don’t work.

Note: If we are truly committed, we will not rest until we accomplish what we set out to accomplish. Commitment comes with the clause known as “lifetime guarantee”.

Running on…

Which way?

 

One of the most overlooked joys of daily blogging is that you are the boss of what you write.

i don’t know many people in the world who blog everyday. And of the ones who do, not many are runners.

If there’s a run today, it will have to be 1,200 miles north.

And if there’s blogging tomorrow (like i’d miss a day) it’ll be 1,200 miles away.

Running on…portable joy.

Is it obvious we take our health seriously?

Charles is a great person. Period.

 

Became friends with Charles in 2015. We met at Golds Gym Orlando. Charles is one of those people who takes his health seriously enough that you know without ever talking to him that he takes his health seriously.

May we all become a beacon like that. Whether or not we are a personal trainer.
