Especially when we don’t feel like it

Life has a funny way of delivering on common sense if we allow it. Especially when we don’t feel like allowing it. Mostly because we think today is going to be the exception.

Felt the need to run but really didn’t feel like running. So it began as a walk.

After a mile or so, decided to run – it was only for three minutes. Just wasn’t feeling it.

Turned off the coastal road and hit the beach and had a strong headwind.

Eureka!

Nearly 20 minutes of running later, a break with a nine-minute walk. Followed by eight more minutes of jogging.

An hour after ‘not feeling like running’, felt refreshed and alive.

Conscious cleared.

We worry all our hard work will erode away

One of the most challenging things to do is slow down and take a break.

For like a week at a time.

We worry all our hard work will erode away.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

We will soon find out.

The older we get, the more difficult it is to break a boundary or limit

The older we get, the more difficult it is to break a boundary or limit. Why? Because we’ve been there, done that.

We’ve tested our limits and we think we know them well.

Remember when we were 13?

Nearly every new thing was an opportunity to push our limits.

Riding 12.6 miles round trip was pathetic compared to the 170-mile Cross Florida Ride (completed in ’85 and again in ’86) done in one day.

But for a 13-year old, it was his biggest athletic moment.

It was cool to witness.

Be well today.

Can you name that tune?

Stayed up late, working on a big project. Got up early to continue on it. Skipped a gym workout yesterday and a run this morning.

Let’s hope this isn’t just a ‘one-hit wonder’.
