Time to bike a marathon?

Grizzly Bear in Glacier. The hump is a classic identifying sign.

Time to bike a marathon?

Today?

Yes, today.

Okay, sure.

West Orlando WordPress meets at Axum Coffee in downtown Winter Garden at 8:30 AM this morning.

Mark your calendar for the first Friday of every month. See ya there.

Finding your rhythm

Second place, 20-year old Sydney McLaughlin, was only 2/100ths of a second off the old world record.

Finding your rhythm has many meanings.

For me one of those meanings is adapting to lifestyle change.

Developing lifestyle normalcy happens through intentional over-focusing, and a growing confidence.

Hoping for a Monday morning Baltimore Anytime Fitness workout in two hours.

When you miss 10 days

Yesterday, back to running after a two week absence.

When you go 10 days without a gym workout, you’re in one of two places:

  1. The cusp of quitting
  2. Excited to get back in

When you don’t run for two weeks…you should substitute some other cardio activity like walking and/or biking.

There was no gym in Glacier nor was there one close by, but there was plenty of trail – trails are everywhere.

It pays to be sneaky sometimes

Was impressed with the technology that provided a list of all alternative flight choices.

It pays to be sneaky sometimes.

Context: Our Delta flights to Glacier National Park got canceled 20 minutes before i ordered an Uber, delaying our departure by one day and providing an unexpected opportunity for me to squeeze in a gym workout.

Snuck in a normal two-hour workout yesterday (a Saturday) because i had been in Spain for five days, and, immediately did a “turnaround” to head to Montana.

Weather made an unchangeable change – we need to fly today, a day later than scheduled.

Awoke at 4am today, with no time to write before scheduling a Lyft. So i write this from 37k’ on the way to Minneapolis.

Son, life is as we make it. It will always be challenging. Learn to control the controllables (like our attitude and our personal processes) and surrender to what we can’t control (like the weather and a cancelled flight).

Enjoy active rest

Disney Keynote Speaker
It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Enjoy active rest.

Yesterday, Saturday, and today are intentional breaks from exercise.

Knowing i’ll away from home for five days makes tomorrow morning’s workout a valuable and highly anticipated one.

Son, sometimes working out can feel like a treat.
