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.

A simple change made it a vastly different experience

A simple change made it a vastly different experience.

We warmed up and began the first interval like usual. Then i changed the distance and recovery periods to half of normal.

Shorter distance and recovery, but faster pace and quicker recovery.

We logged less distance, but ran slightly harder.

Quality over quantity.

It was fun to be there as he experienced the concept for the first time.

i was about to break a promise

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.

So much intentionality in one simple decision

Disneyland Star Tours half-marathon 2016
No, didn’t run this one, but did run near it.

 

Disneyland Star Tours half-marathon 2016
It was fun to run anywhere i wanted.

 

Knowing i wouldn’t be running today (Monday) because of the cross-country flight, i ran yesterday; a rare Sunday run. Only 3.5 miles, super slow, reconditioning my feet to thrive with0ut orthotics.

So much intentionality from something so routine.

Yesterday was also the Disneyland Star Wars half-marathon. It was fun to run amongst so many other runners and walkers. The force was strong.

Patience, creativity, and determination

Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights
Will the Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights resurface at a different Disney location in the future? Patience will tell.

 

Holiday break was not a break from running, but it was a 13-day break from the gym. The longest break i can ever recall since 1999. This week’s gym workouts were significantly less intense. Why? Because there is no need to over do it and wake up with sore muscles. Patience, creativity, and determination.
