Running – Page 2 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

You ain’t much fun, bro

Disney Keynote Speaker — GNP. Many Glacier Valley.

Most of the time I don’t have much fun. The rest of the time I don’t have any fun at all.
Woody Allen

People think i love to run. If you’re lucky, half your life exercise will feel like a get-to-do and the other half will feel like a have-to-do. Aim for a minimum of 51% get to and 49% have to.

There have been months, even years, where exercise and running was 95% pure joy. And there were months, even years, where it was a slog. Embrace with gratitude that you have a body that works.

New Balance

Jeff Noel at Disney's wilderness Lodge resort lobby — New Balance Running Shoes have been in my life since 1977 when i started at West Chester State College in Pennsylvania. Photo: writing one of my Disney business books on an iPhone at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort a few years back.

I sometimes think that running has given me a glimpse of the greatest freedom a man can ever know, because it results in the simultaneous liberation of both mind and body. The runner does not know how or why he runs. He only knows that he must run. We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves.
Roger Bannister 1956

Time to return to running?

Exquisite cake from the world-famous Grand Floridian bakery. It’s been two years (?) since i’ve eaten cake. In a perfect world, i’ll never eat cake again. Eat about five apples a day though, so it balances out.

Time to return to running?

Well, if ever there was a good time to restart:

After a three year “foot-rest”
Cheryl makes her own work schedule now
An Olympic year
Why not?

29 mailboxes a day for a week

Assume 1,600 meters for a mile, or 16 mailboxes.

Began this week (yesterday, Monday, Memorial Day) running 29 mailboxes a day. We will repeat this today through Friday.

This is the start of our 40th week.

The math says for 11 weeks, we didn’t add a mailbox. The weeks we didn’t add, we just duplicated the previous week’s total mailbox’s.

Eleven “mailboxes” equal 1,100 meters – almost 3/4 of a mile.

Son, please bank on slow and steady winning the race.

While we may”only” be at 29 mailboxes for 40 weeks, we have been waking up early and hitting it for 40 continuous weeks.

The real metric is not distance, it’s hidden in the habit transformation.
