Be grateful for slow progress

It’s pitch black at 6am when practice starts. This is just before sunrise.

 

Be grateful for slow progress. He is the slowest High School runner on the team. He’s been running for nine months. This morning he ran for 35 minutes without stopping. This is astronomical progress even if it’s a slow pace.

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.

 

He doesn’t know he ran farther than he’s every run before

He doesn’t know he ran farther than he’s every run before. Yesterday, a Saturday, we covered 1.5 miles before we stopped to walk.

His previous longest continuous run was 1.25 miles.

Two days prior to this milestone, we ran his fastest (by far) track interval workout.

Knowing our pace yesterday would be ridiculously slow, i thought we could still manage a personal best, but rather than speed, i challenged it to distance covered.

Seeing tangible results is highly motivating.

Wellness scales. When we grow, strengthen and nurture our physical wellness, everything else in our life improves. This is the law of the ripple effect. Simple as that.

Power In The Impossible

What’s the power in the impossible?

Everything!

Yesterday, in a casual conversation, a friend mentioned that 90% of humans, if given the chance to transform themselves into something better, would not do so.

Can’t assure you this is a valid statistic, however, I’m using it here to illustrate a simple point. Even if the statistic is incorrect, there is something we can all agree on.

Most people (no matter the exact percentage) are afraid of change. Period.

And yet change is the only constant. Period.

What does this mean to you?  Probably nothing, unfortunately.  Why? Because 90% reading this are afraid to change. Most won’t think the impossible is possible.
