Darn It

Haven’t run in five (5) days.

How is that possible?

Mister “you have to find a way” or your doomed, Mr. Internet five-a-day blogger, Mr practice what you preach, Mr. self-appointed wellness expert.

Yeah, tell us why you have “failed” this week.

First of all, who am I to be calling myself such names, with that stern tone?

Ease up already mister.

There is an inherent challenge with an impossible goal.

It is, well, quite literally, impossible.

To think that we could consistently get regular exercise for the rest of our lives is preposterous.

Rubbish.

It can happen. It will happen. It is happening.

Went to the gym for strength and core training last night. And, after a few commitments this morning (I’m Off today), I’ll go for a run.

Dream big. Get started. Never stop.

True Confession?

If you promise not to call me names, I’ll tell you my true confession. Promise?

Since August 2009, I’ve gained nearly ten pounds.

New readers may not know that after ten years of focused effort to bring my health metrics in line, I had the honor of representing the United States in the 2009 Master’s Track and Field World Championships, in Finland.

So now that the big goal – the motivational carrot – is no longer in front of me, I’ve digressed.

This happens to everyone.

The gift from all of this? It has increased (if that’s even possible) my conviction that an impossible goal is the only one that will work.

Have you ever thought about that? I mean the impossible goal part?

Then perhaps we can journey and endeavor together, to make 2010 a great and healthy year. Who’s in?

Ready To Build Your Fire?

Most people have had so little experience in the wilderness, that making a campfire is foreign to them. And making a campfire is more involved than it seems.

As a Boy Scout and then again in Outward Bound, we were taught to prepare the wood as if we only had only one match left. If you didn’t prepare properly, and the one match you had went out…

Just throw it in the microwave. Or, order delivery. Or maybe, stop by on the way home for take-out.

Well, it’s like that for our health too.

It may not seem so, but most really don’t have much experience being successful in building healthy habits.

Hey, I’m not making this up. Look around. There’s your validation.

It’s epidemic. And we have the opportunity to resolve to be part of the minority – the healthy minority.

And if we can get enough of the minority to change, we can start a movement to become the healthy majority.

Who doesn’t want that for their children, their nieces and nephews?

Do You Need To Borrow My

Do you need to borrow my reading glasses?

Did yesterday’s Lane 8 blog post mean anything to you?

When are people going to stop searching for the silver bullet and just get over it?

The only way to reach your health goals is through hard work. Period.

This news won’t make me popular, but it does make me healthier.

You’re getting this right? I mean, I’m not some genius with a revolutionary new idea.

I simply bring you common sense, which has to become common practice. Ya with me? Excellent!
