You sound over-scheduled, good luck

Apple Watch Sport — Up at 4:35am to make it all work.

She’s 92. She needs heart ablation surgery to repair her heart.

The surgeon, scheduled for two months from now, has an opening in three days.

Her husband is 89 and cannot walk. He relies on 24-hour nursing care.

They live in the same Senior Facility but in two separate wings, based on their health.

Cheryl will be in Allentown for 10 days to assist her Mom before and after surgery.

We are leaving in a few minutes for the hour drive to the airport. Then an hour drive home.

Hoping to begin an hour-long run by 7am so i can take our 8th-grader to school at 8am.

Running is important, in spite of the time pressures, because it mitigates many unhealthy side effects (from inactivity) that crop up over the decades.

So now the excuse becomes…

Walking is great exercise for people who don’t like to run, are uncomfortable going to a gym, or both.

Walking is easy. The human body is built for it. Lots of it.

So now is the excuse, “But i don’t like walking?”

Will he meet or exceed the goal this morning?

Night resting foot splints. — Only a handful know jeff noel has worn these for a dozen years.

Will he meet or exceed the goal this morning? The goal for this morning’s 5k is 22:10.

In the 55-59 age group, that should be in the top five, or better.

In his first ever 5k, he ran 22:10 a decade ago as a 45-year old.

And 12 years ago began wearing night resting foot splints every night.

No one knows. No one cares.

Sharing it to say this:

Excuses bore me. Please keep yours to yourself.

If you are afraid

If you are afraid of failure, you won’t get very far. – Steve Jobs

It’s never too late to become active.

And it’s never too late to become more active.

Question is, can you convince yourself and change?

PS. You so freaking deserve it.

She asked these two questions about his running

She asked these two questions about his running:

Did you always enjoy running or is it an acquired taste?

Watch when young kids are together. They do not walk anywhere. They run. And they smile and laugh while doing it. They cannot hide their joy.

Been running for the past 15 years straight. Ran track for five years in public school. Went 20+ years without running at all.

To answer the question, everything in life requires a balance of pros and cons. Some days running is joyous. Some days there is zero motivation. Before yesterday morning’s run, the longest run of my life, the motivation to run was very low.

You would have never guessed, right?

Guess again.

His advice? Don’t let someone else’s success and longevity become your excuse(s) because you think there’s something magical that you’re missing or cannot acquire.

The magic is finding a million ways to slay the bull crap lies we tell ourselves.

Good luck today.

You’re in charge.

Live like you mean it.
