The only time you should ever hate running

data is everywhere
What does the data show about the pros and cons of running?

 

A friend said he was thinking about running. As in becoming a ‘runner’.

He’s never been a runner. He’s mid to late 40’s.

People who aren’t runners generally hate running.

Why hate running?

Told him the only time you should ever hate running is when you are doing too much of it.

April Fools.

Yesterday’s ‘giving up running’ announcement was an April Fool’s joke.

PS. Couldn’t get the camera ready quickly enough. Saw it coming from 400 meters away and it rolled past for another 400.

Why milestones help us

Why do milestones help us?

Why be intentional enough to pick a special day versus any day?

Because what we are embarking on is something that will be with us for the rest on our lives.

Right?

The other thing begun in April was running.

But that goes back to 2000.

April 15, tax day, to be exact.

And in 2000 there was not as powerful a connection to storytelling as there was in 2009.

Hit by a Jeep yesterday (Reprise)…

Google screen shot
Google ‘why’ – it’s not too revealing. Why?

 

If there’s one thing we’d pass on to our kids, nephews and nieces, it’s that regret sucks.

Big time.

Was hit by a Jeep yesterday morning at an intersection while running. One stride ahead of what would have been serious injury, not excluding death.

Easy to talk about it now because it was a narrow miss. The sudden impact was only enough to twist a knee and be thrown off balance.

Should the worst arrive without warning, solace has been gloriously, and quietly, earned by finally fulfilling a 30+ year old promise to ‘write a book for our kids’.

It’s ok to not be satisfied.

And chase after that crazy dream you have.

You know the one.

The one you’ve always had.

Hit by a Jeep yesterday while running

Rare Florida wildflower
Just north of this rare Florida wildflower was an amazingly close call with serious injury/death

 

Hit by a Jeep yesterday while running.

Lucky to be alive.

For real.

One stride difference would have been a very different outcome.

Other than that, it was a good five mile run.
