Think small when it comes to your health

Epcot Food and Wine Festival 20th
Eating, drinking, working, family, socializing, tv, chores – a long list of distractions.

 

She did the Couch to 5k and it worked for her. She had never been a runner.

As our conversation progressed (we had just met five minutes prior) she shared what a struggle it is to juggle her schedule.

The bottomline, she is no longer running.

So in essence, the Couch to 5k failed.

Think about it.

She had a short term goal – a big goal relative to her past history – to do something she never did before.

Her long term goal should have could have been to never again be inactive.

Never. Again.

That happens one small day at a time.

The rarity is making it acceptable

Steve Jobs quote
There’s a time and a place for everything.

 

No gym two days ago. No run this morning.

Rare in retirement to miss either.

Why?

Because i’m so much more in control of my time.

Some recent entrepreneurial deadlines have put pressure on this retirement luxury.

Because it rarely happens, i’m not going to sweat it.

To thrive in all areas in spite of it

Candy Corn display
Two days ago at grocery store.

 

i’d love to cultivate a hatred for fear.

To push through to the other side.

To no longer allow fear to control what i do or don’t do.

To respect fear.

And to thrive in spite of it.

To fear sugar and processed foods in such a way that they no longer entice me.

Why do i still run?

aging truths
From LinkedIn this morning. Truth? Says who?

 

Why do i still run?

After all, i’ve been running consistently since 1999 (never going more than 10 days without a run).

Most people my age (56) trade in their running shoes for a nice couch and big screen tv.

So to answer the question, i don’t know exactly.

Dear Son, here’s what happens when we don’t pick

Running quote
From Facebook, I Like Running.

 

Dear Son, here’s what happens when we don’t pick. Life picks for us.

Pick anything you like, just be sure to pick.

Even when we choose not to decide, we still have made a choice.
