Respect the running community

From the photo archives when i used to be able to run.

Respect the running community.

Why?

They hold, perpetuate, and guard the childlike energy kids possess after kids learn how to walk.

After a kid learns to walk without any education, a kid learns to run.

Why?

Because they see other kids doing it and walking gets boring after a while. Why not do what the older kids are doing?

And think of it this way, if you’re a senior citizen (or just someone who’s been out of high school for a few years)…

You’re an older kid now in your 40’s, 50’s, 60’s plus.

Because running for your whole life ought to be as motivating as it was when you first learned how to run as a young child.

God, i love to think and move

Took like 5,000 of these cards and literally handed out zero. Great intentions. Pathetic execution. Photo: Lahti, Finland hotel room, 2009.

God, i love to think and move.

End of this short, two part story (thinking and moving).

No auto pilot

Dried north end of mountain lake in early Fall, near Glacier National Park’s Two Medicine area.

Enthusiasm has no auto-pilot.

Exercise, eating well, and resting well build confidence.

Confidence feeds enthusiasm.

Today is not a good day to put your confidence on hold.

Be amazed and be amazing.

And enjoy your activity, and your choices, today and tonight.

Confident you spent yesterday well, and confident you will do it again today.

Wasn’t planning to record in the bathroom, but the sign beckoned me to press record.

Two ingredients that can morph into adrenaline

Grateful for a few hours sleep, even if it was not nearly enough.

This happens sometimes.

This is where being well prepared and excited morphs into adrenaline.

Adrenaline is nature’s way to provide energy when and where needed.
