A Pair 'a Docks

…on the left you see a dock….on the right you see a dock….in the jungle this is known as a pair-a-docks….

The best success formula and best coach for our health and wellness initiatives is so close and yet so far. It’s an epic paradox. It’s us. You. Me.

World Peace? Please.

Let’s bow our heads, please, for a moment of silence…and remember where we were when the world stopped turning…

What do we have to lose? Low risk, high risk. What makes us frame this up in a way that motivates us, or stops us, from continuing?

Low risk = I have to get in shape anyway.

High risk = overdoing it could cause another injury – possibly worse than the others.

The (2006) National Championships – August. Charlotte, North Carolina. Easy, affordable access from Orlando.

Recovered by then? Maybe.

But first, the physical therapist insists on strengthen my core. I said, “Is that somewhere in the middle?” Didn’t even know what ‘core’ was. But quickly found out.

And by the way, my core was pathetic. Maybe worse.

Physical therapist said injuries will continue unless the core is strengthened. Who knew?

Who cares? You better!

So I made two goals, opposite ends of the spectrum, which is what I recommend for you – whether beginner, intermediate or advanced. Make a small, easily achievable goal. And then, set an impossible goal.

Small – one mailbox a day for a week.

Impossible – dreamt big to get, and more importantly to stay, healthy – for a lifetime.

Rascal Flatts’ Unstoppable must have been an anthem to many Winter Olympic athletes.

This video also inspired me. It still does.

That’s the funny thing about inspiration. It’s like a fire. You have to keep it going, or it’ll go out.

Got passion for wellness and well being?

Rekindle your fire here, every day.

At the USATF headquarters in Indianapolis last year.

It is rare indeed when one country can sweep the bronze, silver and gold medals in a single event, in this case the Men’s 400 meters.

Mine was watching Team USA go 1,2, 3 in what event?

The one good thing that came from College life is that he met his future wife.

Maybe that’s why most folks go to College anyway. To find their life mate.

The one bad thing though, he amassed significant debt from student loans.

And he jogged to stay in shape, and counter the effects of high-calorie keg parties.

He even watched the 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics.

The 1984 Olympics were mostly ignored, in favor of an overdue Honeymoon trip – bicycling across Washington State.

The little boy worked hard for many years. He set a school record. He won the County Championship.

Then he went to College. And found out he had been a very small fish in a very big pond, more like the ocean.

He abandoned that childhood dream to become an Olympian.

And got distracted, and medicated, with College life.
