Six freezing miles

Weather app screen shot
Yesterday morning. It dropped to 30 by the time i started.

Six freezing miles.

Four upper (chest) body layers.

Two lower (shorts) body layers.

Gloves and a hat.

Keep the vital (heart, lungs) organs warm and sensitive extremities (head, hands) covered, and you don’t need sweat pants.

What’s crazier, running in freezing weather in shorts, or not exercising as we age?

Remaining flexible in the midst of routine

Missed yesterday’s run and gym visit. Up at 4am to catch an early flight to Allentown.

Will i run this morning, a Saturday, in 30-degree weather or opt for the comfort of the warm and cozy 92-year old’s apartment?

Running on…

Which way?

 

One of the most overlooked joys of daily blogging is that you are the boss of what you write.

i don’t know many people in the world who blog everyday. And of the ones who do, not many are runners.

If there’s a run today, it will have to be 1,200 miles north.

And if there’s blogging tomorrow (like i’d miss a day) it’ll be 1,200 miles away.

Running on…portable joy.

Life and exercise, on the road again

Orange County Convention Center

Yesterday’s short drive to Orange County Convention Center astonished me when i tried to comprehend how diligently i exercised even with the massive travel schedule for the final 10 years at Disney Institute (15 years at DI, 30 years total at WDW).

Didn’t see any early morning (business traveler) runners yesterday.

Never have any more unremarkable days?

(photo: Yesterday morning’s run… tried to capture the Church sign’s address… Flint, MI… for posterity… camera didn’t cooperate)

Can we get to a point where our days are no longer unremarkable?

Driving to Detroit in 90 minutes to fly home from what is now officially the last business trip as a Walt Disney World Cast Member.

Yesterday’s run was the next to last road trip run and in a few minutes, this morning’s run will be the last as a Cast Member.

Our lives click by one unremarkable day at a time.

The opportunity is to work hard to get to a place where we never have any more unremarkable days.
