The long way is the shortcut

The long way is the shortcut.

Just finished shuffling through five mailboxes.

First with Cheryl at 515am.

Then again with Chapin at 615am.

Three weeks ago we did back-to-back weeks at three mailboxes.

Why?

Because we aren’t in a hurry.

This morning’s “run” was the equivalent of one and a quarter laps around a high school track.

Ridiculously slow progress.

Couldn’t be happier.

Our body is our setting

Disney’s California Adventure opened at 8am for Resort Guests yesterday.

By 10am i returned to Disney’s Grand Californian Resort and as i walked past the gym, i decided to go in.

Knowing i had just spent 9 days in Glacier, that was the motivation i needed to spend 30 minutes on strength and core.

A strong setting (body) is a pleasure to the senses.

When did the rules of life change?

Jackson Glacier
Temperature alters my perception of Glacier. Would have been physically more comfortable with warmer temps, but enjoyed the challenge to adapt.

 

When did the rules of life change?

Woke up in the Granite Park Chalet bunk bed at 4am but forced myself to stay still until 6am, and the first thought…

When did it become okay to make not exercising a legitimate life choice?

Who do you know who began by running to their neighbor’s mailbox?

Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
Yeah, it’s the unlocking part that people are interested in. Not only able to unlock Disney success methods, but also life-balance success methods. It’s my life’s work.

 

The workout two days ago was a long way from home.

It was in a stark facility.

i didn’t do anything i normally do.

The change was refreshing, inspiring, and thought-provoking.

We shall see if it leads to a new approach to my routine.

PS. We are on our third week – three mailboxes a day for a week.

If you hate running, this is probably why

Dinner last night was well-balanced.

Qdoba catering did an exceptional job.

Simple and small cake.

 

After almost two years intentional rest from running (1st break since 1999) we (Family) began running one mailbox a day last Monday. Tomorrow,  it’s two mailboxes a day – Monday through Friday.

Mailboxes are 100 meters apart in our neighborhood.

It will take one month to run the equivalent on one lap around a high school track.

Have always believed the reason most people say they don’t like running is because they do too much too soon, and they quit before they even get started.

Our pace is slower than walking by the way.

Finally, everyone knows that running (or walking, or swimming, biking, etc) improves so many things, right?

Happy present moment.

If not now, when?
If not ever, why?
