On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

What is the primary goal of exercise?

Yesterday was a run, today is rest day.

 

Contrary to popular thinking (driven by the media), losing weight is not the primary goal from exercise.

Exercise’s primary goal is strength, endurance and range of motion.

Extra weight is unhealthy. At least it is for me.

Have trouble accepting this?

Fill a small backpack with 50 pounds of stuff and wear it 24/7 for one week. yes, wear it to bed, in the shower, even while exercising.

Tough, right?

Well, that’s happens over time. Gaining 50 pounds doesn’t happen overnight. Odds are decent that gaining another 50 pounds could happen in your next 10-20 years.

So imagine wearing a 100-pound backpack.

Excess weight is unhealthy. The primary goal for exercise is physical wellness. Secondarily, it can add joy, camaraderie, and confidence to your karma.

Compromise is the only option sometimes

Inching my way back, about 1/4 mile each week.

This is harder than it looks, and i love it.

 

So the indefinite vacation from running lasted about two months, roughly until school let out around June 1. Since then, i became our son’s running partner. All Summer long we ran with the Windermere Runner’s Club two mornings a week at the high school. The other three days, we ran from home: not much running to speak of, and this is why i got back into running – it was easy running and our son needed the support, guidance, and encouragement.

A walk in the park

A walk in the park Sunday morning was leisurely and enjoyable. We had no pressing issues to handle. We had time on our hands.

The challenge is what to do on the 99.9% of our days when that is not the case.
