But i don’t have three hours

Writing this later than normal today, which means instead of saying something like, “Looking forward to this morning’s three-hour workout.”, i can now write, “Today’s 25-mile round trip bike ride (an hour each way) and hour-long gym workout felt great.”

To have a temple in which everything keeping us alive is stored, and neglect it just seems like a bad idea.

Three hours a day, three times a week. Never in my life until nine months ago.

Disney taught me to live intentionally

Disney University Speakers
i’m a regular at Disney University.

 

Biking near Magic Kingdom
Had the normal 3-hr workout before heading to Chicago.

 

i’m intentional about discovering opportunities to benchmark other Disney Keynote Speakers.

Also intentional about scheduling flights that facilitate the ability to exercise normally before heading out of town.

How’s your flywheel?

The other day…i needed a metaphor to help a teenager understand their continuously accelerating progress. They can’t see it as easily as me.

Last night at sunset, i knew 12 hours later (an hour from now as i type this) i’d be on the bicycle.

 

Flywheel.

How’s yours?

Hard to get going. Hard to stop once it does.

Getting to exercise three hours this morning feels like a reward versus a burden.

Can you intelligently (and convincingly) explain why you aren’t exercising?

High school physical night
Last night the High School offered $25 student athlete physicals in the gym after school. About 75% of the student body participates in athletics.

 

How long do you plan to live?

Can you intelligently (and convincingly) explain why you aren’t exercising?

Do you plan to start?

Why not?

And if yes…

When do you plan to start exercising?

Back to how many years you think you’ll live.

Do you suppose you’ll be healthier if you started gradually and then eventually, say in a year or two, you kept with it forever?

Does this change any of your previous answers?

What does your body say when you ask it if it’s excited?

Windermere 5k
Two days ago we walked in the Windermere 5k as a Family.

 

Because i took last Friday off from biking, my legs have been resting since last Wednesday morning. Five days rest.

Anxious to saddle up in a few minutes.

With the first and almost imperceptible hint at dawn as i gaze out my office window while typing this, i know today’s workout will not be a burden.

It will be a gift.

Actually, every workout is a gift, but when you are tired and overwhelmed, it’s easy to forget.
