A thriver's guide to physical health and wellness
World-class tips, tactics, strategies and serious motivation
Track Shack inspires Central Florida to stay fit? Well actually, they don’t inspire anyone. They’re a catalyst. We need catalysts. A lot! They’re mission critical.
The rest, however, is up to each of us… individually. Figure it out or go home.

Track Shack, keeping Central Florida fit since 1977…
Your pace or mine?
Insight: This has no subliminal meaning. It’s intent is to showcase even the slightest creative adaptations can be fun and powerful… with a saying, or motivation to not quit.

Just Move It
He leaned over and said, “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure”, I said without hesitating, so I stopped typing on the keyboard and turned his way.
He continued, “One of my bucket list items is to do a race and I’m not sure what distance to choose”.
I suggested a 5k, and gave him Track Shack’s website. He’ll walk his first 5k, and if he’s really lucky, he’ll become motivated to do another.

About 2,500 Runners & Walkers
Do you keep track of your progress? I mean, with a few things that are really important to you.
Your checkbook maybe. Or your vacation savings. Or your weight loss or weight gain. Or your running distance or running times?
I love running.
And sometimes I don’t.
Like yesterday at the Central Florida 5k (sponsored by Track Shack) Watermelon Run, I wanted to stop a few times.
You know, quit.
But I didn’t.
Hope you find whatever it is you need to not quit.
Quitting is for amateurs.
Become a pro at not quitting.
And be prepared to bleed to make it a reality.
OK Now Focus, Speed, I Am Speed
Heading to Orlando for the annual Track Shack 4th of July Watermelon 5k run.
Yeah, it’s a Sunday, and a holiday, and it’s early.
Having fun and staying healthy can sometimes feel like work, but mostly it feels like this:
These are just a few of the advantages of hard work.
But you already know that.

Excellence is not a spectator sport.
Injuries and pain can make exercising a challenge. No brainer, right?
Well, I’ve been dealing with injuries for five years now. Guess you could say, “It’s the cost of doing business”.
I hate to complain, because complaining is fairly unproductive. There is one instance that I’ve discovered where complaining actually is effective.
If it causes you to do something positive about it. This is a tough one. Misery loves company. Another no brainer, right?
So, saying that to ask you this, “How many times have you exercised this past week”? Carpe diem!
Good Saturday evening. Started the day very early and was downtown before 7AM to run the annual Track Shack Watermelon 5k.
It was my first competitive 5k in my new age group. I’ll share more details tomorrow. Gotta go for now.
Stay healthy, be happy.
Happy Independence Day! Carpe Holiday! jeff noel
