Don’t be upset with the results you didn’t get because of the work you didn’t do. – Unknown

So yeah, a mid life celebration is my hope for you.

Weekly update number 3 from Mid Life Celebration

Dear readers, confession time. I’ve developed a daily addiction to love of writing. Even without readers like yourselves, I’d write anyway. However, the fact that you visit makes everyday, well, Thanksgiving day. Thank you.

Can’t believe what started as a 100-day personal challenge to write in all five midlife celebration blogs (mind-body-spirit-work-home) every single day has continued now 44 months… 7,000 posts later.

Getting Motivated And Reaching A Health Goal Is A Surefire Sign Of Future Failure

Someone has to be the expert. And that would be me. (pretty bold, eh?)

Because of what I do and who I do it for, I have an extrasensory perception in how setting and achieving health goals is a sure sign of future failure. July is dedicated to helping you see this coming and to fight it every step of the way.

How Anyone Can Look At An Interstate Highway And See Their Brand Is Very Mysterious

Leaving Indianapolis and USATF HQ behind, I see this…

And automaticaly think of Lane 8.

Lane 8 is part of jeff noel’s brand positioning. While this may be more than you want to know, remember, excellence in any endeavor, is a habit.

If you want to be healthy and stay healthy (big difference btw), you’ll need to raise your game. Raising your game requires doing what others don’t, won’t, can’t.

PS. Seconds later, the Indy 500 Speedway… The message today: Find a million ways to entertain, motivate and inspire yourself. No one is gonna do it for you.

Ever Been On A Trip And Have The Most Amazing, Unexpected Discovery?

From the outside you’d never know USATF HQ is here…

From the inside, no doubt. Thanks Blake Roebuck, for a great tour (2010).

Traveling all over the world as an Orlando-based Professional Speaker, I usually know what to expect – Indianapolis is home to USATF national headquarters.

Didn’t know my hotel was a block away until bumping into the guy running USATF online store. Blake offered a tour 1st thing the next morning.

Associate with excellence and lofty places, remember?

Read carefully under Pre’s name, “America’s Most Famous Distance Runner”

Setting the bar too low and reaching it is worse than setting it too high and failing.

Hey, Did I Mention All These Things Were Part Of It Too?

The podiatrist asked me to do a few other things to alleviate the foot pain:

  • Ice morning & night
  • Rest often (good luck)
  • Celebrex, 200mg daily
  • Stretch 20 minutes daily
  • Custom foot orthotics, daily
  • Voltaren gel 4x day, both feet
  • Wear nighttime foot splints (both feet) while sleeping, daily

Some for a decade, some for just a few years.

What keeps you going to do the hard work to make your life healthier and easier? Seriously, your answer rolls off your tongue, right?
