The emotions and thoughts from sitting here run from joy to sadness, from gratitude to confusion.

 

Did i want to run in 36 degree weather yesterday?

Could i have spent those 90 minutes in a more comfortable situation?

Who wants to watch TV all day, everyday?

Being around people 20 to 40 years older than you – if you pay close attention and aren’t medicated, distracted, or entertained – you become keenly aware that vibrant health is something to fight like hell for.

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.

Safety first, right?

 

Safety first, right?

The life you save may be your own, right?

Prove it.

Why could I not find a single person?

Why could i not find a single person who needed to defend their physical health in a convincing manner?

Someone who made time for exercise, was intentional about their food choices and intake, (and invisibly focused on adequate rest), in a deliberate yet unobtrusive way.

Similar to an intensely spiritual person who has the ability to not make others uncomfortable with their passion.

Is that unreasonable?

Insight: What does defending something resemble? It would look, sound, and feel like someone who is “in training” for something.
