Our ability to delay is what kills us

Red Nose Day 2015
Yesterday at Walgreens, May 5, 2015

 

Having the prerogative to delay, that is, to put off doing what we know is good for us, is what kills us.

Generally speaking, once we make a habit of not exercising, we’re good enough at it to make it last a lifetime.

The most challenging part of any dream or goal

Doesn’t appear to be an Olympic Training facility. Vulture on right.

 

Staying motivated is the most challenging part of any dream or goal.

Ran 13.2 miles yesterday.

This included a never before completed workout: 6 x 800 meter intervals.

It was a great confidence booster “doing the never-been-done-before”.

Confidence is motivating.

Do we feed our confidence?

Excited to have track workout number four this morning.

If the “healthy” feet stay healthy, and i don’t succumb to overdoing it, there’s a chance for a little Masters Magic this Track season.

PS. Officially registered (800 & mile) yesterday for the May 30th Central Florida Gliders Youth/Open meet at Lake Brantley High School.

Competition is simply a carrot out in front to keep the motivation alive.

Don’t get cocky, you have a history of overdoing it

This is a substitute for a real track because it’s close to home.

 

The 2015 World Relays began yesterday, May 2, 2015 in the Bahamas.

The day before that, i had the third, and most inspiring track workout of the year – and in the past ten years.

But it wasn’t at a track. It was on the sidewalk adjacent to the Tibet Butler Nature Preserve near Walt Disney World.

On the shady side of County Road 535, on the sidewalk 12 x 400 meter intervals were run (listed in seconds):

106, 103, 103, 96, 94, 93, 93, 89, 89, 90, 86, 83

Walked 400 meters back to the starting line, about four minutes, rest between each.

One mile jog warmup. Followed by four pretty slow warmup up 400’s. Then progressively faster 400’s. The goal was 90 seconds each.

The last one of the 12 was intently the fastest.

Be amazed and be amazing.
