Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Good five-mile run this morning. Pain almost non-existent.
Feeling very thankful today.
Ever heard the phrase, “To whom much has been given, much will be required”?
I’m sorting all this out and praying for the wisdom to make good decisions. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
In America, many people call Wednesday, “hump day”, for the middle of the work week, and once Wednesday is over, we’ve cleared the hump and are closer to the weekend.
I took “hump day” off from working out. Worked too long and hard today and didn’t have enough sleep to fully recover from yesterday’s run and gym workout. As a public speaker, I stand most of my day, which adds additional stress to my plantar fasciitis and heel spur.
I’m treating rest as an integral component to success this year. As a Master’s athlete, I’ve learned the hard way that rest is a critical success factor. A tired body is more prone to injury. My mantra, “Stay Healthy, Have Fun“!
Run, walk, swim, peddle, row, roll or whatever. Just do something to stay moving, because if you don’t, who will. If not now, when? The clock is ticking. Carpe diem, jeff noel
No run, or gym workout today. Rest! It’s nearly 8:00PM, and I’m about to stretch for 20 minutes.
It almost feels like tomorrow is the first day of the new school year. Remember when you were an adolescent? New clothes. New grade. New friends. New dreams.
Tomorrow. New foot? Hope so. Carpe PM, jeff noel
What are you satisfied with? A 96% would be an “A” on most tests. Not satisfied with an “A”. The overachiever in me wants an “A+”.
Early this morning, I got an “A”, with a “96”. I’ll take it and feel very good about it. And feel very, very thankful, too.
Felt great. Opened it up a bit on the second and fourth mile. Heel held up nicely.
This leaves me cautiously optimistic. So, I’ll celebrate with two full days of rest. I’m due for this any way.
Have a GREAT weekend. My favorite day of the whole year is tomorrow – Easter Sunday.
Carpe diem! Chase your goals and never, ever, give up. jeff 🙂
In a few minutes, around 7:15AM, I’ll be heading out for another five-miler.
Moment of truth?
I hope so.
And I hope that whatever happens, I’ll be strong enough to surrender, should I be disappointed. Or to be strong enough to embrace the enormous responsibility to keep moving forward. This is an impossible-goal journey, which is more than ten years in the making.
From the memory of elementary school reading assignments, “Run, jeff, run. See jeff run“.
Carpe diem, jeff 🙂
