Barely a warmup

Colonoscopy prep schedule
The 15 year old self-managed yesterday’s prep for this morning’s colonoscopy.

 

Compromised and settled for a 3.5 mile run yesterday. It was raining, plus i needed wanted to be back in time to oversee the start of a teen’s medical prep.

Never thought there’d be a day when 3.5 miles hardly felt worth it. As if it was barely a warmup.

Interesting how life unfolds.

The cross i bear from a lifetime at Disney…

Lane 8 on College Track
Lane 8 is a metaphor for life. To become the slowest of the fastest.

 

The cross i bear from a lifetime at Disney is that i thoroughly understand how to articulate a clear, concise, and compelling personal (or corporate) health vision, but struggle with sounding like a radical, over-zealous know-it-all.

And not only do i understand the recipe, i have used it successfully so many times, it literally makes me ill that others make excuses for not following it.

If there was a vision for the future it was yesterday

Apple Pay example
Yesterday’s second snack stop was a 25-cent investment in a banana.

 

If there was a vision for the future it was yesterday. Biked 13 miles to Gold’s, completed an 80-minute workout, then biked home 13 miles. This four-hour commitment included two stops to get refueling snacks, using Apple pay since i only took my phone.

It will be cool to bike to Church in the future. And the grocery store. And the Doctor.

Should i announce it or keep it a secret?

Those aren’t clouds, they are snow capped mountains from last week’s run through Denver, May 15.

 

Should i announce it or keep it a secret?

Training for 2015 Nationals and Worlds.

On one hand it will sound arrogant.

On the other hand, it takes guts to believe you can compete well against the best the world has to offer.

One announcement can simultaneously turn people off and remarkably inspire others.

Pain or no pain, that is the question

Farmer’s tan? Photo from two days ago.

 

Two days ago the pain was excruciating and the run was cancelled. Yesterday however, after a fairly painful ten minute walk, a ten mile run ensued. How that was possible remains a mystery.

The 7th and 8th miles where seven-minutes flat. And the preceding six miles each got progressively faster, thanks in large part to zero pain.

This was a bit surprising stunning.

This morning? No pain. How? Why?

Time will tell.

The first five months of retirement have been impressively enlightening.
