Rest day, lovely rest day

The idea of doing nothing is foreign to me.

The idea of doing nothing on a Sunday has been talked about and promoted by society, my entire life.

Aiming at be excellent at the basics.

Ps. A work in progress as they say.

Pss. Been consistent for years at not working out on weekends. Motivated by rest’s physical importance.

Gonna start exercising in retirement

Gonna start exercising in retirement.

Sounds familiar. And predictable.

Probably not gonna happen. Sure hope it does though.

Crazy thing is we think retirement will change things.

Challenged a retired Disney colleague to drive the speed limit. All the time.

At Gold’s Gym recently, Fred said this, “It’s funny how your pace of life slows down when you aren’t hurrying (speeding) to the next thing.

Why do retirees still drive fast?

Could write a book.

Wait, already did.

Today her neighbor retires from teaching at Disney Institute.

Running five miles yesterday was huge. Why? Because working hard and preparing for the final week, while savoring it and enjoying it at the same time have, well, has been exceptionally time consuming.

Burn the ships

Does “burn the ships” mean anything?

Got to spend a few minutes talking with a fellow (neighbor a mile away) middle-aged runner yesterday.

Years ago in our first encounter we realized we had met before and after a few minutes we came to the same conclusion. We met at a Chrysler Conference at Disney’s Contemporary Resort were he was an attendee and guess who was the keynote speaker?

Shared the retirement news and told him if he ever wanted a great speaker…

He said yes.

It’s gettin’ real.

Burn the ships.

Make it impossible to stop exercising. Burn your excuses. No turning back.
