We woke up at 4:30am and 4:50am respectively. Cross Country practice from 6:00-7:30am this morning.
Up late last night (10pm) watching Usain Bolt make history in the 100 meter final.
And just before the 100 meter final was the men’s 400 meter final.
New world record in 43.03, smashing Michael Johnson’s 17-year old 43.18 record.
Never saw the world record coming. Blindsided.
In the smallness of daily life, astonishing is always happening.
Be astonished.
Everyday.
All day.

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.
It happens sometimes…roll with it looks good on paper.
Radar showed no rain at our High School, just three miles down the road.
And last night, a Tuesday, was a scheduled Track workout.
Our campus was dry and untouched by rain.
But we had to wait, as the clouds shifted direction.
Ultimately, after 15 minutes, we made the call to cancel.
It happens sometimes.
Roll with it.
It’s called real life.
It ain’t called theoretical life.
Theoretically, we should take good care of our health for our entire lifetime.

The fairness stems from the fact that it’s brutally unfair to everyone.
Just minutes into yesterday’s run to Magic Kingdom, the reality of this photo stopped me.
The small bird (Mockingbird) on the left down wire (barely noticeable) and the large bird on the right (Hawk) are at a standoff.
The Hawk wants what’s in the Mockingbird’s nest. The ridiculously smaller and weaker Mockingbird has but one choice and that is to muster the strength to defend it’s nest with it’s life.
The odds are stacked against us that we might dedicate a lifetime to doing the hard, tedious work required to exercise regularly, consume a healthy diet, and get adequate rest.
