Do you keep track of your progress? I mean, with a few things that are really important to you.

Your checkbook maybe. Or your vacation savings. Or your weight loss or weight gain. Or your running distance or running times?

I love running.

And sometimes I don’t.

Like yesterday at the Central Florida 5k (sponsored by Track Shack) Watermelon Run, I wanted to stop a few times.

You know, quit.

But I didn’t.

Hope you find whatever it is you need to not quit.

Quitting is for amateurs.

Become a pro at not quitting.

And be prepared to bleed to make it a reality.

6 Reasons to Run Watermelon 5k

OK Now Focus, Speed, I Am Speed

Heading to Orlando for the annual Track Shack 4th of July Watermelon 5k run.

Yeah, it’s a Sunday, and a holiday, and it’s early.

Having fun and staying healthy can sometimes feel like work, but mostly it feels like this:

  • Clothes that fit
  • Good health metrics
  • Good self-confidence
  • Not afraid of a bathing suit
  • Self-respect
  • Good role modeling

These are just a few of the advantages of hard work.

But you already know that.

Excellence is not a spectator sport.

Still In Pain?

Injuries and pain can make exercising a challenge.  No brainer, right?

Well, I’ve been dealing with injuries for five years now.  Guess you could say, “It’s the cost of doing business”.

I hate to complain, because complaining is fairly unproductive. There is one instance that I’ve discovered where complaining actually is effective.

If it causes you to do something positive about it.  This is a tough one. Misery loves company. Another no brainer, right?

So, saying that to ask you this, “How many times have you exercised this past week”? Carpe diem!

Watermelon 5k?

Good Saturday evening.  Started the day very early and was downtown before 7AM to run the annual Track Shack Watermelon 5k.

It was my first competitive 5k in my new age group.  I’ll share more details tomorrow.  Gotta go for now.

Stay healthy, be happy. 

Happy Independence Day!  Carpe Holiday!  jeff noel  🙂
