A story huh? Well, my five blogs get written after I wake up but before heading out for a run and work. So there’s not much time – it’s completely, utterly, in the moment, with few exceptions.

Almost 51, I practice what I preach. Take a look. This was two days ago. How many 51 year olds can do this?
Exercise. Fitness. Wellness. Flexibility. Strength. Cardiovascular.
Blood pressure. Resting heart rate. Good cholesterol. Bad cholesterol. Body Mass Index. Triglycerides.
Those words should mean something. So should these.
Determination. Perseverance. Tenacity. Hope. Dreams. Persistence. Motivation. Inspiration. Courage.
Focus. Discipline. Results. Good habits. Bad habits. Dreams. Goals. Success.
If not today, when? It’s up to you. Always has been. Always will be. Carpe diem.
