But i don’t have three hours

Writing this later than normal today, which means instead of saying something like, “Looking forward to this morning’s three-hour workout.”, i can now write, “Today’s 25-mile round trip bike ride (an hour each way) and hour-long gym workout felt great.”

To have a temple in which everything keeping us alive is stored, and neglect it just seems like a bad idea.

Three hours a day, three times a week. Never in my life until nine months ago.

Like a broken record

WPS swim meet
Yesterday a three-team swim meet…warmup time.

 

Like a broken record…

Not trying to make you a runner.

Not trying to make you a swimmer.

But you do have to do something after school five days a week with a group of other students.

You also have to exercise.

It’s convenient you picked something that does both simultaneously.

Never hike alone in GNP

Spring Grove High School call of 1977
Will attend every reunion i have the privilege to attend. Some of our classmates are no longer with us. This will become a pattern as the years unfold.

 

Will i hike Glacier?

Hidden Lake Trail is doable as a solo hike, if others are on the trail. If no one else is on the trail, it’s safe as long as you can still see Logan Pass Visitor’s Center.

Worth doing twice in one day if you ask me.

Early morning and late afternoon.

Who knew?

Jim Ryun quote
i subscribe to Brain Clark at Copyblogger. From his weekly newsletter. Generally don’t read his article…but almost always enjoy the quotes he picks.

 

Habits define us.

Genetics too, to a certain degree.

But these seven really help anyone:

  1. Cardio
  2. Strength
  3. Nutrition
  4. Flexibility
  5. Core
  6. Rest
  7. Motivation

No one has to do them all.

And your mileage may vary.

Best mileage is achieved by doing all seven.

Number seven, by the way, is the most critical for long-term success.

Life would be easier if i didn’t fuss over what i eat and drink every morning.

There is a multitude of sugary, processed breakfast food.

Most of them go great with a glass of milk.

Milk is good for you, right?
