“Help Me”
Delayed run until well past sunrise in order for the air to warm. Nothing less than 50 minutes sounded good.
Saw a “help me” message on a car stopped in the middle of a busy four-lane road near Disney.
Turns out it was two honeymooners looking for Downtown Disney.
It was a nice one-minute break with 10 minutes still to run.

Cousin from Jacksonville arrived last night for a 5k at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex this morning.
She also has a fondness for Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival which is in full swing right now.
Debating whether to start this morning’s run from the mailbox, or drive to Disney and slip into the sea of runners and be a 5k crasher.

Four things a book manuscript submission process can teach a person
Clarity • Simplicity • Focus • Execution
The book deal promises 100 days from manuscript submittal, a copy is in your hand.

Can we summarize our life’s work or our future vision in one sentence?
Have we ever tried? This brings us back to clarity, simplicity, focus, and shipping (doing what you say you are going to do).
All done with generosity and authenticity.

Dang if I didn’t torque the left hamstring yesterday. Wasn’t even running.
The rest of you, please remember to be careful, and have fun – in that order.

Yesterday a friend said I was probably the only person who thinks running and sweating is fun. It was their response after reading a conference agenda that started the day with an optional “fun run”, in the Florida heat.
Sitting here writing this second of five blogs before I go for a five-mile run (yes, in the sweaty Florida heat), the fun won’t come soon enough. Partly because this is my “Monday”, meaning the past two days have been active rest days.
How can you become motivated to be focused and disciplined to feel the same way?
Man, wish I had an answer for you. Part of the root cause of my joy is the feeling I get when my clothes fit comfortably. When I can be active and not feel “old”. When I enjoy an ice cream cone without an ounce of guilt, like yesterday.
