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.”

Not exercising because?

Be prepared sounds so cliche.

 

Not exercising because?

Because it’s an absurd proposition.

Not exercising because we are out of shape is as ridiculous as saying, i’m not showering because i’m dirty.

Absurd.

Yet this is the bull crap conversation we have with ourselves.

Again, absurd.

When do we become unconvinced?

When do we become unconvinced that regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate rest are critical to our aging journey?

Observing senior life from multiple overnight visits to the nursing home/senior living facility, it would, unfortunately, appear to happen decades too soon.

Insight: Never let that happen. Ever.

Missed yesterday’s run and gym visit. Up at 4am to catch an early flight to Allentown.

Will i run this morning, a Saturday, in 30-degree weather or opt for the comfort of the warm and cozy 92-year old’s apartment?
