Hike up to Granite, body

13-second video: This would be scary if i wasn’t accustomed to being deep in, with no other humans but Cheryl.

Park trailhead sign — Not quite five miles to No Name Lake. (take the 3.1 miles on watch plus the 1.6 on the sign: 4.7 miles)

AllTrails screen shot — Discovered that AllTrails tells me Peak names. Upper/middle right, Flinsch Peak.

Pixar toy figurines in the mountains — Not quite five miles to No Name Lake. Flinch Peak (9,200’), upper right.

Listen to your body.

Knew when i awoke that my legs felt heavy. On paper i wanted to reach Dawson Pass. My body made the case for backing down.

GPL day 4, body

8:20 AM. Two Medicine Lake is behind us.

13-second video: The Fox startled me. Why? Because it should have run off at my sight. It did not run.

Hiking eight to ten miles before noon never hurt anyone.
dad

People have jobs.

i get it.

Heck i can write a (7) book(s) about it.

And now, i can hike 8-10 miles in the morning like it’s normal for most Americans.

It ain’t.

But it is for us.

As American (Disney) retirees.

It ain’t braggin’ if you can do it.

GPL day 3, body

National Park Lodge lobby — Chillin’ on a cool, cloudy day.

Desperation will lead you into evil. It will lead you out too.
dad

Performed my full-time Disney Institute (DI) role while simultaneously launching Mid Life Celebration, LLC.

Six years working behind the scenes, while excelling at my professional speaking career, traveling the world for DI.

Not quitting my day job allowed me to never be desperate.

Desperation ignorantly grants permission to compromise your values and take risky shortcuts you’d never take if you weren’t desperate.

Kinda like robbing a bank thinking you’ll be the one that never gets caught.

Note: i was desperate to continue doing what i love but without someone else dictating my travel schedule. Desperation catalytically transformed my mindset to leave Disney after 30 years instead of 40.

GPL day 2, body

Apple alarm clock screenshot — Most nights are closer to 8 hours. But not last night.

Some rest days aren’t physical. Taking a break mentally or spiritually has physical benefits.
dad

At one point yesterday morning, ambition was so high i thought we could summit Oberlin, return from the Pass and still have plenty of time to get to the airport.

Ha!

Today’s quote is one of the most used.

Why?

Because it exemplifies life’s basic motivational law; motivation is all on you.
