To Magic Kingdom and back yesterday morning.

 

i didn’t want to stop running yesterday, but i knew there was no need to push it. It’s the off-season, winter, time to just be.

Hoping this morning’s run is full of zest

This is what your stop watch looks like almost 25 hours after forgetting to stop it.

 

Hoping this morning’s run is full of zest.

But if it’s not today, it will come.

i will continue to run regardless of the circumstances.

How could i not?

PS. This karma can be applied, and should be applied, to everything.

Depends what your goal is. It also depends on your brand. Depends on the situation. This post is about exercising while traveling Internationally to cold climates.

An hour-long five-miler, 46 degrees, 7am, windchill at places. Will take 12-minute miles over no run. Will take five miles (normally nothing less than eight) over none.

Can you do an 8-miler before heading to Montreal?

Have been thinking about how to pull this off this morning, knowing that i need to be out the door at 7:45am for Orlando International airport.

Bags packed last night? Check.

All other logistics taken care of last night? Check.

Ok. Time for a run. Check.

You can’t improve what you don’t measure

Miles vs kilometers.

 

Miles vs kilometers. Heading to Canada in five days.

You can’t improve what you don’t measure.

And you can’t improve what you don’t do.

Distance is only one way to track progress.

Other ways:

Time

Weight

BMI

Resting heart rate

Cholesterol

Flexibility

Core strength

Commitment

Passion

Joy

i always say, “Find a million ways to stay motivated.”
