Slowest of the Fastest?

What does this metaphor, “The slowest of the Fastest” mean?

It means very simply this:

We have a choice every moment of every day.

To be positive, or, to not be positive.

Here’s one of life’s invisible truths:  Everybody is fighting a hard battle.  Everyone.  Even the people who appear, on the surface, to have a great (easy) life.

We all have a choice on how we live our lives.

There are two choices:

  1. To be the fastest of the slowest.
  2. To be the slowest of the fastest.

On our deathbed, if we are lucky (blessed) to have this moment, we can look back on our lives and say with a peaceful joy, “I gave it my best effort and have no regrets about what I could have, should have or would have done“.

Visit, or revisit, if you’re interested, the post that explains another metaphor, Lane 8 .

Carpe diem, because if you don’t, who will.  If not today, when?  jeff 🙂

You do the math!

Do the math?  What the?

Thirty to fifty?

Yep.

Thirty days until I turn fifty.

And, roughly 90 days until the prelims. 

Ten years in the making and it will be over, either side of 55 seconds.

Huge investment for such a short “performance”.

Decent run yesterday, and as the trend remains, intermittent pain all day.

Where could you end up ten years from today, if today was the first day you started exercising, and you didn’t stop for the rest of your life?

Carpe diem, my wellness-minded friends.  jeff 🙂

PS.  Tomorrow, I’ll post my son’s answers when I posed this question, “Do you think I should go to the World Championships?”

Lane 8 and Track & Field?

Lane 8 and Track & Field?  Absolutely.

Then what about quitting?

Yesterday, I posted that I wanted to quit.  

Believe that?

Heck no.  i don’t want to quit.   Then what?

I felt like quitting!

Big difference.

I’ll be back out on the road before 7AM this morning.

The journey of 10,000 miles begins with the first step, and most likely, never ends.

So I constantly remind myself, “Just keep going.  You need to be a role model for the people close to you.  Your wife, and especially your son, need to see that it is possible to do the impossible“.

Carpe diem, jeff  🙂
