Barely a warmup

Colonoscopy prep schedule
The 15 year old self-managed yesterday’s prep for this morning’s colonoscopy.

 

Compromised and settled for a 3.5 mile run yesterday. It was raining, plus i needed wanted to be back in time to oversee the start of a teen’s medical prep.

Never thought there’d be a day when 3.5 miles hardly felt worth it. As if it was barely a warmup.

Interesting how life unfolds.

So much intentionality in one simple decision

Disneyland Star Tours half-marathon 2016
No, didn’t run this one, but did run near it.

 

Disneyland Star Tours half-marathon 2016
It was fun to run anywhere i wanted.

 

Knowing i wouldn’t be running today (Monday) because of the cross-country flight, i ran yesterday; a rare Sunday run. Only 3.5 miles, super slow, reconditioning my feet to thrive with0ut orthotics.

So much intentionality from something so routine.

Yesterday was also the Disneyland Star Wars half-marathon. It was fun to run amongst so many other runners and walkers. The force was strong.

A 10-miler through Walt Disney World never gets old.

Using 10-miler and my name in the same sentence would have been impossible one year ago.

Makes us wonder what else we’ve been lying to ourselves about.

You’d miss this if you moved away, so do it (a lot)

Apple Watch at Magic Kingdom
Love the “proof” that Magic happens in real time – yesterday.

 

You’d miss this if you moved away, so do it (a lot).

Ran 10 miles yesterday to the Magic Kingdom and back home again.

One mailbox a day update after six weeks

Map My Run screen shot
After six weeks, this is our current daily run distance.

 

We began on Halloween 2015, six weeks ago. Run one mailbox a day for a week. Each week, add another mailbox (100 meters).

We are only at five mailboxes because in week two, we kept the distance at one mailbox (100 meters).

It’s interesting to watch how two, three, and four mailboxes no longer seem like a big deal. Each time we add a mailbox, we are running farther than he’s ever run in his life. Each new distance becomes a big deal – literally groundbreaking.

And then it becomes no big deal in a week or two.
