Recovery – Page 2 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

And so it goes, the boring basics

Orlando Based Disney Motivational Keynote Speaker — Yesterday, a late, hot start to the day, at 8am.

With a green light from my Podiatrist of ten years, yesterday was an important milestone.

The pain from running at the Sunshine State Games on Father’s Day 10 days ago, is fading to nothing.

Five miles of consecutive negative splits, not pushing hard, just gradually controlling the increased pace. Being aware and in command is part of world class training.

Mile six a slow jog. Mile seven a nice walk. Miles eight and nine, relaxed jog. Mile ten another easy walk cool down.

Consistency and time.

A perfect metaphor for real life

Sidewalk near Walt Disney World — Yesterday at ‘the track’, just walking.

Drum roll please.

Soreness is ______…

Still sore, but less so.

Yesterday’s (six mile) walk was a decent compromise.

Life is not fair.

But to be fair, at least it’s unfair to everyone, no exceptions.

It’s getting easier and easier to believe that any excuse is invalid

RayGun tee shirt shop Iowa City — Friend raved and said you will love their ‘art’

It’s getting easier and easier to believe that any excuse is invalid.

We all get 24 hours.

We all have challenges.

We all have to make hard choices.

Often these choices are painful.

No one is immune.

Make continuously better choices and make zero excuses.

Six weeks post operation double hernia repair update

jeff noel running next to Florida Sand Hill cranes — Mostly I run alone, but there are fans in the neighborhood who appreciate the lifetime exercise commitment

Six weeks post operation double hernia repair update:

Following surgery no exercise for two weeks, then a childishly slow start to running
Waited a month before retuning to gym, then an infantile return to weight/reps at gym
Now running two miles daily
Gym routine at 40% weight/reps

A thought, the last day we exercise is our healthiest forever. We don’t get healthier by doing nothing.

Three days until Nirvana

Bell Haven Country Club - Alexandria, VA — The entrance to my office for the first work day since surgery nine days ago

Meeting room at Bell haven Country Club Alexandria, VA — Just minutes before transformational facilitation begins

Three days until Nirvana. Sure, during this two-week-no-running restriction, Masters Track & Field National Championships were held.

Had planned, for several years, to be there.

Last year the 1,500.

This year the 800.

Next year the 400.

So I miss an important psychological stepping stone.

All stemming from the injury-plagued 2009 track season.
