Kiss our behind, devil

Kiss our behind, devil. It’s the devil that temps us, and ultimately convinces us, to quit.

Hey devil, you lost another battle last night. Sorry. Not trying to rub it in, but I’m definitely hinting to you that you can kiss my butt and move on. You’re wasting your time here.

Ran five miles this morning (and it’s still morning as I write this). Got nine hours of sleep last night.

Life is good… when we refuse to quit and when we know what’s important in our life, and we consistently deliver on it.

Heck yeah I’m tired

my classroom job is to have C-suite folks rethink, and reimagine

Heck yeah I’m tired. Ran two miles in the dark this morning. Taught at Disney all day – burning the candle at both ends.

At least I ran. At least the client’s (President of North American division of multi-billion dollar global company) expectations were exceeded. At least I’m in bed early. And at least the brand promise didn’t get snuffed out (if I finish the other three blog posts after this one)…

Top five things I’ve ever done?

been on PCH with Cheryl, for work, with Jesus, but not with Chapin (not yet)

Becoming healthy as a lifestyle – rather than as a need – is probably the best thing I’ve ever done, right after these four other chronological milestones:

marrying Cheryl
choosing Disney for a career
becoming a Dad
loving Jesus more than anything

Supplement your happiness with LSD?

(look past diary-like entries, and ask why does he keep saying and doing these things?)

Supplement our happiness with LSD? Yes, Long Slow Distance. After missing five running days (two planned, three unplanned), got a five-miler in this morning.

Long, slow, distance. Nice and easy. A good 45 minutes of continuous running. The focus is:

not quitting
building strong cardiovascular base
maintaining core strength
getting back to 15 minutes daily stretching each evening
running some really good times this Spring and Summer

As if Baby Boomers need a reminder for this physical BFO

The Grinch who stole Christmas — Elementary school play on a Friday night after working 6am-5pm

First Baptist The Singing Christmas Trees — A Christmas traditional, The Singing Trees, after working all day Saturday

As if Baby Boomers need a reminder for this physical BFO – blinding flash of the obvious:

Use it or lose it.

Our body houses everything that keeps us alive. It thrives on exercise, good food, and rest.

Only ran two days in the past seven. Grueling holiday schedule. Everyone has the same list of excuses.
