To add meaning to the preparation

America's best wellness speaker
Today starts the 2015 Prefontaine Classic. Tomorrow is the 23rd Central Florida Glider’s meet. It’s also marks 30 years since Pre’s tragic car accident.

 

What is your personal brand? Does it even cross your mind?

Would people label you active or inactive. Healthy or not really?

These types of questions are not for everyone. Totally get that. But it cannot be a reason to not ask.

And just because an alarming percentage of Americans are not active, does not mean that society believes this is acceptable.

Do you?

During tomorrow’s competition, the goal is not to win a race, even though there’s a possibility. The goal is to have all the preparation have meaning – something to look forward to, to celebrate.

It’s exciting not knowing

 

Still not sure what this morning’s workout will be. The first 2015 outdoor track meet is three days away. After this morning’s workout, there will be two full rest days before the meet.

While i’m in great shape for an almost 56 (in 12 days) year old, it’s no where near world-class competition level . This means the meet is a glorified workout.

An exciting way to dip my toes in the water so to speak.

Feet healthiest in 10 years

Using Buffer’s Pablo app to create images like this one.

 

Only two more workouts before the 2015 season’s first track meet.

Haven’t felt this excited about a track season in a decade.

Feet healthiest in 10 years.

Great cardio base.

Only two weeks of interval training so far. Things are going according to plan. The plan is to move forward to the next threshold only when it feels right. This may mean not being fully prepared for a meet.

And this is ok. Even welcomed.

So two weeks ago i started using intervals to gradually increase the intensity of pace. The intensity of running shorter and faster is the stress it puts on the body.

Going from jogging to running and now to sprinting.

It will take months.

There is a chance that my body may not be ready for the 400 by August 12, 2015.

It doesn’t matter.

World Class training facility?

 

Excited to have track workout number four this morning.

If the “healthy” feet stay healthy, and i don’t succumb to overdoing it, there’s a chance for a little Masters Magic this Track season.

PS. Officially registered (800 & mile) yesterday for the May 30th Central Florida Gliders Youth/Open meet at Lake Brantley High School.

Competition is simply a carrot out in front to keep the motivation alive.

The 2015 Track comeback is officially underway

Turkey Lake Road separates Universal Studios and Dr Phillips High School
Turkey Lake Road next to Universal Studios.

 

Today will be track workout number two of 2015.

Kinda like the start of a new school year, back in the day when we were kids.

Will most likely run on the sidewalk again, in the shadows of Universal Studios.

Will park at Gold’s Gym, and run to this location as a warmup, then run back to Gold’s for a gym workout.
