The effort to stay active and healthy is never worth it without a compelling goal.
Everyday we march forward, or retreat, from our goal.

Wait, don’t tell me
If people knew how hard i worked to live vibrantly, they wouldn’t think is was so magical after all.
The time is going to pass whether we exercise or not.
Why not exercise?
The last day we exercise is the healthiest we will ever be for the rest of our lives.

i love to run, mostly
Hot, still, humid air can flood our ambition
Even though it was dark when i walked down the driveway to begin a Monday morning run yesterday, the air was anything but cool.
First i said, “i’ll walk 800 meters to warmup, get loose, and get motivated”.
At 800 meters, i extended it to a one mile warmup walk, and even before the first mile was done, i knew what was going to happen.
i was going to say, “i don’t feel like running today. i’ll just do the same amount of time, but walk instead of run. It will be good to cross-train”.
Every avid runner struggles with the same things every other (rookie) runner struggles with.

Don’t be embarrassed about being a midlife geek
Pulse check.
Everyone knows i don’t promote running, right?
It’s just that running works for me, so i talk about it sometimes. i’m sure you have your thing that works for you and you find lots of ways to stay motivated with it.
And if you don’t at this stage in your life, let’s assume you are looking and hopeful.
What’s happening now though is the biggest event in Masters running (only happens every two years – Senior Olympics) is going on right now in France.
i’m bit geeked out about it.
The real insight in the recent running posts isn’t about running, it’s about being honest with yourself and smiling because you have something you get geeked out about too.
My friend, former colleague, and fellow Boomer, Shelli, is a dance geek. She couldn’t hide her love for dancing if her life depended on it.
Be well.
You’re in charge.
Please don’t be embarrassed to geek out about it.
Yesterday were the qualifying rounds for the 400 meters. It would have been my first event.
