Today is a great day for a walk

Apple Watch workout screenshot
Multiple stops to do gym-free exercises, like i have been since March 2020. After a couple miles, it’s time for pull-ups, dips, and planks.

Every day is a great day for a walk.

Disney bike and walk

Apple Watch on a person's wrist
From home, biked the ‘long way’.

Roundtrip from here (and back) through Magic Kingdom’s interior perimeter.

Aging will surprise you with unexpected over-use injuries. Stay vigilant.

dad

Originally was going to walk the 11-12 miles roundtrip from home to (and through) Magic Kingdom. Biking 9 miles is much easier on your feet than walking. My right heel was mildly and intermittently painful the last two days. Opted to go easier on that heel today. Why? Because i do not want to add fuel to a smoldering fire.

We are heading toward the sun.

One way street

Call Sam of mountain goat face
In the wilderness (the wild), survival is all you know.

The only way to get and stay physically vibrant is to love the way you do it.

dad

Obviously (again, maybe), this is an intentional analogy from work to your physical vibrancy. When you embrace my mantra, “Find a million ways to stay motivated”, you embrace it because we must rely on creatively raising our motivational bar when our health habits feel more like have-to-do than get-to-do.

i love running, but i don’t always love running. Sometimes what i know is necessary is the last thing i feel like doing. Find a million ways to slay this “boredom creep”.

i also love cycling, but our community roads are no longer safe to bike on. Luckily, a comprehensive sidewalk infrastructure is now a reality. Cycling sat idle for a decade until sidewalks saved the day.

Physical regret

Group photo at the picnic table
Candid. Ice cream, melting. Two women at end of table trying to keep their composure.

The older you get the more you appreciate making the commitment to get and stay physically vibrant.
