2023 Track and Field Season

USATF Grand Prix schedule — There are some extraordinary matchups this year. Almost like USATF is making Track and Field the “new”spectator sport.

What if your health was a profession? Would you up your game?
dad

Looking forward to watching tomorrow’s two-hour first Grand Prix installment. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who holds the world record in the 400 IH is going to run the open 400. There’s more (and no one cares but me…and i’m cool with that), but you are spared from the details.

You cannot have an unhealthy life from healthy habits.

Walk to Disney World

Disney theme park reservation screenshot — Wanted a turning around place. Magic Kingdom sounded perfect.

Be intentional about where you live as you near 30 years old.
dad

In your late teens and early 20’s, day-dream about where you’d be willing to live. Had always wanted to spend a summer living at the beach…hence, Wildwood, New Jersey, 1980 with a bunch of guys from my West Chester State College dorm.

Later that Fall (’80), lived in Moscow, Idaho at the University of Idaho on the National Student Exchange program.

Spent the next Summer (’81) living in New Brunswick, New Jersey and commuting to (via bicycle, daily 30-miles round-trip), and worked in Scotch Plains, New Jersey.

Then January 1982 moved to Orlando, Florida to work at Walt Disney World until August.

Fall 1982, bicycled across United States and landed in Pullman, Washington to live with mom, who was a Residence Hall Director (at the time) at Washington State University.

Permanently moved to Orlando, Florida in 1984. Been here ever since.

Dear Focus, Discipline, and Fun

Disney Institute van with Jeff Noel and his son — Back in the day when we had vans like this at Disney Institute. And back in the day, way before middle school let alone college.

Dear focus, discipline, and fun, thank you for being everywhere i look.

It’s as easy to be focused, disciplined and having fun as it is to be unfocused, undisciplined, and having fun. Both are simply repetitive, habitual thinking. One works for you, one crushes you.

Also, there’s a hybrid fun from being confident that poor habits never reveal.

College Day 4 physically

Apple Watch fitness app — Walk around campus nearly four miles. Then more walking the rest of the day. Roughly a 10-mile day.

Dreams without action are hallucinations.
