It’s obvious by the closed eyes this comes with the territory

Phillies stadium
Never a shortage of interesting places, many are visited before breakfast.

 

Sitting in Philadelphia International airport waiting for a short flight to NYC and eating a slice of pizza for lunch.

Too busy to run this morning (and too tired and too cold).

Too busy to write – until now.

Looking around, it’s obvious by the closed eyes in the boarding area that this comes with the territory.

Figure it out.

Hoping you have (or will get to) experienced this phenomenon before you die

First to arrive and last to leave makes running a challenge when traveling

 

Lately, the active (planned) rest days have felt wonderful. No guilt, extra time, and a feeling that less is more.

And to have two active rest days in a row doubles the joy.

Hoping you are experiencing this phenomenon before you die.

Today’s exercise calls for active rest. Good thing too. No time for running this morning while putting finishing touches on a transformational keynote speech.

Active rest is a reward for our body – recovery, recuperation.

Transformational in a way.

With exercise or with organizational culture, transformation happens best when it is slow and steady, relentless and unwavering, honest and true.

On a health comeback, is it easier to make excuses?

When we are on a health comeback is it easier to make excuses?

Or is the notion that skipping exercise today and chalking it up to over-managing rest, considered a cop out?

Watched Jamaica’s Usain Bolt repeat as World’s Fastest Man at yesterday’s 2013 Track & Field World Championships.

And it was the first time, ever, four athletes from the same country appeared in a final.

Historic.

Inspiring.
