Dream bigger (please)

This is his world, from his only chair.

Dream bigger (please).

No one plans on life like this.

Thank goodness there are clean, safe, and friendly facilities to assist in an otherwise overwhelming situation.

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. This website is about our physical health.

We are proud of the fact that pushing the limits energizes us

Lunch yesterday at Disney University.

 

There is a great temptation to do more, more often. i get it. Working inside Disney for 30 years, it’s crystal clear, we are never satisfied.

This could be a burden. But it’s not. Here’s why.

The whole organization isn’t satisfied. In fact, we are proud of the fact that pushing the limits energizes us.

As Walt Disney (who’s birthday is tomorrow December 5) said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”

Yesterday was a non-run day and i carved out time to visit a former Disney Institute colleague at Disney University (where he’s been for the past decade) for lunch.

In theory, running should not be his exercise of choice

Running and foot health
Thank goodness for experts like Dr Curtis Wagner.

 

Unexplainable that yesterday’s run was impossible because of excruciating foot pain.

Why the pain?

And to remove the temptation to run in spite of the pain, it was raining. Not a fan of running in the cold rain.

So no run.

Immediately opted for an earlier than normal gym workout.

On the way home, a “Why not?” moment and pulled into Sand lake Commons Medical complex to see about a walk-in appointment.

The pain had vanished the way our vehicle stops making that weird noise when we take it to the mechanic.

Foot pain is back again today.
