Week 7, six daily mailboxes.

Progress.

Gloriously slow progress.

For all three of us.

The long way is the shortcut.

Just finished shuffling through five mailboxes.

First with Cheryl at 515am.

Then again with Chapin at 615am.

Three weeks ago we did back-to-back weeks at three mailboxes.

Why?

Because we aren’t in a hurry.

This morning’s “run” was the equivalent of one and a quarter laps around a high school track.

Ridiculously slow progress.

Couldn’t be happier.

If you hate running, this is probably why

family
Dinner last night was well-balanced.

 

family buffet
Qdoba catering did an exceptional job.

 

birthday cake
Simple and small cake.

 

After almost two years intentional rest from running (1st break since 1999) we (Family) began running one mailbox a day last Monday. Tomorrow,  it’s two mailboxes a day – Monday through Friday.

Mailboxes are 100 meters apart in our neighborhood.

It will take one month to run the equivalent on one lap around a high school track.

Have always believed the reason most people say they don’t like running is because they do too much too soon, and they quit before they even get started.

Our pace is slower than walking by the way.

Finally, everyone knows that running (or walking, or swimming, biking, etc) improves so many things, right?

Happy present moment.

If not now, when?
If not ever, why?

Run one mailbox a day family-style

Disney keynote speaker jeff noel
Rode bike to Disney’s Contemporary Resort a couple times this week.

 

Run one mailbox a day family-style.

The three of us began six days ago on Monday, August 6, 2018.

The date is not significant, nor memorable.

Not like April Fools Day 2009, when i began writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Not like Halloween 2014, when i retired from Disney after 31 years of service.

In two days, on Monday, we’ll run two mailboxes a day for the week.

By the way, our jogging pace is slower than walking.
