Some of you know this if you’ve worked hard enough and long enough

iPhone screen shot of run time — Not making this up. The focus and discipline it takes to understand pace is astonishing.

Fastest post (July) surgery mile run so far. Didn’t particularly feel like running at a higher level, but after a mile warmup and some light stretching, decided to push a little – nothing ambitious.

Quickly realized that not exercising for the past three days provided the gift of a well-rested body. Within 30 seconds a notion – let’s shoot for a 6:20 mile.

Some of you know this if you’ve worked hard enough and long enough – you can get really good at delivering on what you say you’re gonna do.

What’s holding us back from doing this one simple thing (twice) every morning?

glossophobia — This is a fear even greater than the fear of death

What’s holding us back from doing this one simple thing (twice) every morning? I weigh myself twice every morning. The second time is to confirm the first number. If they match, I’m done. If they do not, I weigh a third time.

Why? Because it teaches us (me) what each pound feels like. Over time the practice, repetition, and the focus teaches nuance and self-awareness.

I can feel a two-pound difference in either direction. Insane? No.

If you have ever experienced this level of daily awareness, you know it’s absolutely not insane.

Kiss our behind, devil

Kiss our behind, devil. It’s the devil that temps us, and ultimately convinces us, to quit.

Hey devil, you lost another battle last night. Sorry. Not trying to rub it in, but I’m definitely hinting to you that you can kiss my butt and move on. You’re wasting your time here.

Ran five miles this morning (and it’s still morning as I write this). Got nine hours of sleep last night.

Life is good… when we refuse to quit and when we know what’s important in our life, and we consistently deliver on it.
