Tried and true may be the devil’s work

It’s so ridiculously easy to find tried and true reasons to remain comfortable indoors, especially when it’s wintery cold outside.

Reflecting on the observation that no one in this facility seems to have a passion for physical exercise.

Will this be me in 20 years, as a 76 year old?

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. This website is about our physical health.

Felt good to be ordinary with a small exception

Yesterday’s run was ordinary, except for one thing – mile four.

 

Felt good to go nine miles. Felt good to dip near seven minutes in mile four. The little things can be good for our soul, if we aren’t too busy to notice.

Never get bored with the basics

Last night at High School. i passed on the cake.

 

Never get bored with the basics. Find a million ways to stay motivated. Otherwise, you will stop doing what you need to do to stay well.

Hoping this morning’s run is full of zest

This is what your stop watch looks like almost 25 hours after forgetting to stop it.

 

Hoping this morning’s run is full of zest.

But if it’s not today, it will come.

i will continue to run regardless of the circumstances.

How could i not?

PS. This karma can be applied, and should be applied, to everything.

Our motivation will ebb and flow

Monday’s run – heading home after passing through Disney University (background).

 

Looking forward to this morning’s run. With only three runs per week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, each opportunity is important – and a privilege.

Looking forward to going to Gold’s Gym today as well. Again, only three opportunities each week. i missed Wednesday’s chance because i was busy (and tired). i choose not to use the “off” days (Tuesday and Thursday) as a make up opportunity. So today’s gym visit is even more important, and more privileged.
