But your lucky because you love to run

But you’re lucky because you love to run.

From others, i hear (and sometimes sense) this excuse over and over again.

No.

i’m lucky because i know this simple fact.

The long way is the short cut.

i have a dirty little secret for everyone

High School basketball playoffs
Is this good news or not so good?

 

High School basketball playoffs
Good news, our High School Boys prevailed and advance to the State Championships in Lakeland tomorrow night.

 

Exercise is often seen as something only certain people can enjoy.

i have a dirty little secret for everyone.

It’s a myth.

i don’t always love exercising.

In fact, there are days, weeks, months, and even years, where more than 50% of the time i don’t feel like doing it.

Excuses are invalid.

Harsh truth or beautiful truth?

This is an important reminder for anyone who is aging.

Most want to live a long life, few want to get old.

 

 

This video is the beautiful truth.

The prevailing wisdom of life is this:

There are things you have control over and things you don’t.

Yesterday’s normal “Friday” 8-miler was modified about two miles in. Decided to settle for a two mile run, with another 3.5 miles of walking. Rationalized that Monday’s and Wednesday’s runs were longer than normal and an “easy” day was not only welcomed, but also a smart move.

The definition of “smart move” is completely subjective, and is driven by individual perception.

At Disney in the late 1980’s, Disney’s new Resort VP Bob Small told me, “Perception outweighs facts”.

It would seem that any pixie-dust of the poem, and how the author and her staff live it are skewed by “perception versus reality”.

Take your time but hurry up

Books on a shelf
1001 “Must Read” Books. Seriously. What changes?

 

Postponing getting active?

For when?

The unlimited, never-ending patience we have for postponing our healthy, vibrant living is so deadly.

Think of it this way with our day to day habits…

Our daily impatience is manifested in our pace. We hurry when we drive. We hurry at work. And hurrying is a sign of worrying. Worrying is a sign we are afraid of something.

Fear.

What are we afraid of?

Becoming so vibrant that all our poor health habits, our sources of pleasure and relief, will have to be abandoned, for good?

It’s never too late to change.

The time will pass anyway

Go.

People are depending on you.

Depend on yourself.

Be an example, not a warning, as you age.
