11-second video: What’s not to love about a hometown like this?11-second video: Shot a bunch of these yesterday. From here and from other places. i love doing it. Why? It epitomizes ’going the extra inch’.
Move like you mean it now. For someday you may pray for the opportunity to do it daily.

i always take the stairs, no matter how many floors.
Why?
Some day i will likely yearn to be able to take a few steps up.
Note: When people take the elevator, or escalator, they have no premonition that one day it will be their only choice.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

Today i walked five miles and “jogged” across the road intersections.
Perhaps i can quickly (since my body has rested the past 9 months) start running again like i was a year ago.
A year ago, May 2023, i was running (six-minute per mile pace) one or even two telephone poles at a time for a mile or more.
It felt like Heaven, considering i hadn’t been able to run, at all. Period. Not even at 15-minutes per mile pace.
Note: The difference between a 6-minute mile pace versus 15-minute mile pace is astronomical. The difference between trying to run, with severe pain, and running without pain is equally astronomical.

After a half century, finally catching wind of this Pre quote.
No matter how hard you train, Somebody will train harder. No matter how hard you run, Somebody will run harder. No matter how hard you want it, Somebody will want it more, I am Somebody.
Steve Prefontaine
Whether fitness or all endeavors, insatiable desire is your key to persistence.
And like i said yesterday, passion fuels persistence.
