Significant change in exercise routine.

Elevation jumped from 100′ above sea level to 5,300′.

Ran and walked (taking pictures)  8.5 miles at really slow pace to avoid altitude sickness.

Also ran with a shirt on, even though it was late afternoon. Neither of which would ever happen in Florida, in May.

 Walt Disney’s wisdom applies to wellness too.

Walt Disney said, “What we do is very serious business, but we should never take ourselves too seriously.”

These two photos were taken about a minute apart at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

Running, safety, Disney, leadership

Map My Run screen shot
Yesterday’s run near Disney.

 

Roadside construction crew safety
On the other end where the runner first approached there was no sign, no tape, no warning. Nothing.

 

Roadside construction crew safety
Also on the route was this different, much smaller construction crew who handled it perfectly on both ends.

 

In exercise and in business, it’s easy to blame someone else.

The utility company foreman was not on his A-game. Safety first, right? He blamed the runner for not avoiding the sidewalk.

A simple sign on the sidewalk would have easily done the trick. Standard signage they should always carry. Right?

Later in the day, while driving past, the foreman had placed the sign.

It happens quickly in one direction

Orlando Based Wellness Keynote Speakers

 

(photo: yesterday before lunch at Team Disney… the convenience of a centralized employee wellness center minutes from home.)

It happens quickly in one direction.

A bit like a wildfire during a drought on a windy day.

Gaining weight happens easily and quickly for most of us.

Not a fan.

Struggling like most others, even if it never seems so.

DU we love you because of three realities

Disney University Keynote Speakers
A few days after retiring from Disney.

 

Ran to DU (Disney University) yesterday for the first time as a retiree.

It was cool. Really, really cool.

Why?

Because of three realities: the reality that you live close enough to do it, that you have permission to do it, and that you are retired.
