Dear Son, how cool is it to start something?

Scene from God's Not Dead
There will always be a million reasons to quit or back down

 

Dear Son, how cool is it to start something?

How scary is it that it may quickly fade…. “like it always does”?

Biking everyday and walking…

As natural as anything can be for a human body.

Time.

Reason.

It either becomes a part of life or it doesn’t.

We know this.

Is this absolutely true, or only true when we feel like believing it

Tropical in the atrium – reminds one of Orlando (home). Outside, freezing.

 

Is this absolutely true, or only true when we feel like believing it (which may be never if we don’t get off the treadmill of life)?

We should always have some compelling health goal in front of us.

And occasionally, one that is seriously compelling.

So ten weeks into 2014 – five of them on the road for four to six days at a time- finally able to run on the road.

The only two days in 2014 that have been warm enough to run were the past two.

Can’t stop thinking about how it is possible for anyone, anywhere, to not stay active.

Is the list of benefits from staying active too long?

Um, sorry, that’s a real question.

Yet at the end of the day, the CEO of our life has to make important choices.

The Herd doesn’t care, and in fact, the Herd welcomes our complicity.

Is this a form of medicating and distracting ourselves from actually doing the work

Las Vegas excuse
Our life results revolve around hiding behind excuses… or not.

 

We love hearing from and seeing people share inspiring stories of other people.

Facebook is full of stories and quotes from others about someone they know or admire from a distance.

This ought to challenge us because these are often like a drug.

One great quote lasts us just long enough to get to the next.

Is this a form of medicating and distracting ourselves from actually doing the work of being an inspiring story?

We either exercised yesterday or we didn’t.

What stokes our fire to carry on in spite of the constant cries

Lahti, Finland's three Ski Jumps Stadium
The simple, exquisite daisy at the next blog came from this hillside

 

What stokes our fire to carry on in spite of the constant cries that it’s too difficult to stay motivated and too mundane to have fun with exercise?

A compelling (and hopefully fun) goal.

So yeah, let’s try another comeback.

Last year’s comeback was stalled by double hernia (hernia occurred June 7) repair surgury in July.

Two days ago moved up to a new age group… M55-59.

Being the youngest is a competitive advantage.
