i have a dirty little secret for everyone

High School basketball playoffs
Is this good news or not so good?

 

High School basketball playoffs
Good news, our High School Boys prevailed and advance to the State Championships in Lakeland tomorrow night.

 

Exercise is often seen as something only certain people can enjoy.

i have a dirty little secret for everyone.

It’s a myth.

i don’t always love exercising.

In fact, there are days, weeks, months, and even years, where more than 50% of the time i don’t feel like doing it.

Excuses are invalid.

Too tired to run?

Too tired to run?

Nope.

After the group three-miler, ran another four before breakfast.

Even as i struggle to find time and motivation

One rotten apple in a bunch
The more expensive organic apples are not immune from rottenness.

 

Even as i struggle to find time and motivation, and there are more days than i care to admit, the most wonderful blessing is that i continue to stay with it.

Didn’t feel like doing it

Biking near Walt Disney World
Real life in real time. Post written 100 days ago. Photo taken one day ago.

 

Didn’t feel like doing it.

What?

Run.

But you love running.

Not in the dark, not in the cold, and not when other responsibilities are pressuring me for attention.

In spite of those, i ran anyway.

Why?

My health is something i’m willing to protect.

Skipping a run makes it easier to skip a second run. Skipping a second makes the third skip easier too.

Deadly.

It’s just a cold

TV commercial with celebrity
Snapped this while watching a TV commercial last night. Oprah is making promises again about losing weight. i could help her.

 

It’s just a cold, not the flu.

Heading out for a run shortly.

Powered through a gym workout yesterday.

Didn’t feel like it.

Also didn’t feel like missing a day either.
