Florida Senior Games 2016 are tomorrow, Father’s Day

Windermere Running Club last week.

 

Florida Senior Games 2016 are tomorrow, Father’s Day.

Minneola High School is roughly 30 minutes away. Easy peasy.

Shot Put is usually one of the first events. Hoping to be finished before it gets scorching hot.

Purchased a Shot Put, Discus, and Javelin six months ago.

In the past 40 years, i have thrown the Shot Put once – at the High School track a month ago.

Tomorrow will be the second time.

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.

Out of nowhere, a way to mix it up at the gym

 

Greasing the neurological groove.

Thank you to Craig Nickoloff for the share yesterday.

The rule is simple. After each exercise, you should not feel tired, you should still feel refreshed.

Changed up the reps i normally do, but didn’t change the weight.

Not only physiologically stimulating, but also psychologically invigorating.

In the heat and slowness, gratitude

Yesterday’s easy 8-miler.

 

Working to get out the door earlier. Back to like it used to be, running mostly in the dark.

Why?

August has been so humid.

The time of day can make a world of difference in how much we enjoy running.

Still nursing a mystery pain, so the first and last miles are walks. The six miles in between are two to three minutes off normal healthy pace.

Enjoying the easy effort.

Active rest days can include long walks through town.

While yesterday was an active rest day, it was also a work day and there was a business meeting downtown with a Healthcare CEO.

Dear Son, fun is in the physical freedom

Orlando Wellness Speakers

Dear Son, from one gift, physical health, come many.

Please do not take offense if the following does not describe you now.

Yet know it IS achievable if we are willing to burn the ships of old habits, excuses, and fears.

Fun is in the physical freedom.

To taste the weirdly wonderful joy of loose fitting clothing.

To feel unembarrassed poolside or beachside. Or anywhere.

You are already youthful. Every 14 year old is.

But to feel strong, flexible, vibrant.

To feel deep personal integrity in our food choices and portions.

To place sleep on our high priority list.

We are lean when we are active and intentional.
