Try to hate running?

(photo: How did one stray cat become so lucky to have a middle school classroom to call home?)

Baby Boomers must manage their own luck.

Hope you get to the point where you hate running. Because when you do, you’ll know you love it.

If this sounds confusing it’s because it sort of is. Until you understand that it’s not.

What starts out as a groove, say running, eventually becomes a rut. No one likes ruts. And you have to love something in order to climb out of the rut and thrive again.

Like all worthwhile things in life, lifetime motivation to not quit (running in this example) is key.

Because she loves to run, we think she loves to run

Wellness word cloud — The successful ones always seem to have something we never will

Because she loves to run, we think she loves to run.

But she struggles.

And no one knows.

Some days, and often for weeks at a time, she struggles to enjoy it.

She wants to quit.

It becomes a have to do, a need to do, not a get to do.

This is truth and when we feel like her, plow through it.

Anything…

But do not quit!

This is a big miss for many of us

Mid Life Celebration book — Confidence and insecurity are cousins.

What if running, or any activity we engage in, became part of who we are?

Even to the point of becoming a fanatic.

Perhaps even an all or nothing proposition.

This is a big miss for many of us.

What if we became fans of our own game?

What if we became our own biggest fan?

She Summed It Up Rather Well

Just yesterday, they were talking as I walked up, “I hate him”. And they both laughed.

They were “kidding” as they talked about how fit I am. It’s simply the reality that makes up my day. I’ve come to understand that it will probably never go away. You know what it is?

I’m the kind of person people love to hate. At 51, when you do things like this, you get the predictable response.

It’s comical to me, because when I started, I was pathetic.

Disney Creativity & Lane 8?

Can Lane 8 learn anything from Disney’s creative strategies and tactics?

The obvious answer is yes.

By the way, the only reason I’m able to run at such a high level is because, as an experiment, I started applying the Disney principles to running.

Just before I turned 40, I started running to improve my health and am now into my 11th consecutive year – and about seven years ago, I had a crazy idea. Here’s the short story

I decided to do an experiment.

To prove Disney philosophies can work anywhere, I began applying them to running. The results have been staggering.

Anyway, here’s another jeff noel midlife You Tube clip – this one on Running and Disney Creativity.

I used to feel free to make excuses for why I was stuck, or why I wanted to quit. I didn’t do it often.

The road to excellence has no finish line. I know everyone is fighting a hard battle. Me too.

But if you think you’ve got challenges, ask Nick Vujicic.

Carpe diem and thank you for visiting.

PS. Peace, jeff noel 🙂
