The long way is the short cut

Study like you mean it.

The long way is the short cut.

August 6, 2018 we began running as a Family. One mailbox a day for a week.

We added an additional mailbox most weeks, but in some weeks, we didn’t add a mailbox.

Mailboxes here average 100 meters apart.

One mile would be 16 mailboxes. 

We began week 24 this morning.

Just shy of half a year and we have finally made it to one mile without stopping.

The long way is the short cut.

And yeah, study like you mean it – it reveals insights like “the long way is the short cut”.

Such a crazy dream in Spring 1999

Publix grocery check out
Yesterday at Publix.

Such a crazy dream in Spring 1999.

Run one mailbox a day for a week. Each subsequent week, add one more mailbox to the daily distance.

 Never dreamt 10 years later i’d be representing Team USA at the 2009 Masters Track and Field World Championships in Finland.

 Ps. We ran 12 mailboxes this morning. Where will we be as a Family 10 years from August 2018 (when we began 0ne mailbox a day)?

Wishing you a broken leg?

good luck
At Disney, and in the entertainment industry in general, break a leg means good luck.

 

i’m getting better at waiting to make progress or completing something before saying, “Guess what i started doing?”

Why?

The likelihood that simply declaring something is not going to make it a reality.

Why?

Do your own math and you’ll quickly see that we humans are a funny bunch.

We desire all sorts of good-for-us change, but we are generally inept at making it stick.

Today begins month five of running one-mailbox-a-day for a week and adding a mailbox with each new week. This is not only me doing this, but also Cheryl and Chapin.

Slow and steady helped us complete week nine

Mojave OS
Apple no longer puts OS upgrades in the App Store. Now you find them in System Preferences. Love the Mojave tagline: Simply Powerful. Daily exercise is .simply .powerful too 

 

This morning’s pre-dawn runs completed week nine of our one-mailbox-a-day wellness transformation.

When i say runs, here’s what i mean.

Cheryl is up and ready to run by 5:15am.

Chapin is ready an hour later, so i run twice.

In the Summer when we began, High School was not in session so we all ran together for the first month.

One mailbox a day is still alive

Apple privacy agreement
Nothing is private anymore. Live an admirable life and your story doesn’t need to be a surprise to anyone if there’s a data or privacy breach. If your health habits (eating, sleeping, exercising) were public, how would you react?

 

We are in week nine.

We are doing seven mailboxes every morning.

Twice we didn’t add a mailbox for the new week.

This is okay because we are not in a hurry.
