Do you look forward to Wednesday mornings?

Sunrise after Florida rocket launch
Walking down driveway to run…immediately knew this was a rocket launch.

About 30 minutes after first photo…had no idea there was going to be a launch.

 

i look forward to Wednesdays because it means the day includes an early morning run. Up at 4:15am chomping at the bit to start the day. The final two keynote speaking topics arrived yesterday. Anxious to tweak and polish them.

Decided to run to Disney’s Contemporary Resort. A friend is attending a four-day Disney Institute class on Creativity and my former colleagues are working there. It’s a nice break from running up and down the “Disney Parkway” like i have for the past 16 years.

The difference between exercise strategy and exercise tactics

Middle school classroom
Kids run everywhere, even in a classroom.

 

Remember how as kids how we would run versus walk, even across a classroom?

What do you look forward to on a daily basis?

Many think runners absolutely love to run. Yes, and…

Yes, and they do not feel like this everyday, nor are they exempt from all the time pressures everyone faces.

Finding our purpose for staying healthy is the foundational (intentional) strategy. The actual activity we choose is the tactic.

Tactics change if and when necessary. Strategy is timeless.

Try to hate running?

Middle school classroom cat

 

(photo: How did one stray cat become so lucky to have a middle school classroom to call home?)

Baby Boomers must manage their own luck.

Hope you get to the point where you hate running. Because when you do, you’ll know you love it.

If this sounds confusing it’s because it sort of is. Until you understand that it’s not.

What starts out as a groove, say running, eventually becomes a rut. No one likes ruts. And you have to love something in order to climb out of the rut and thrive again.

Like all worthwhile things in life, lifetime motivation to not quit (running in this example) is key.

Because she loves to run, we think she loves to run

Wellness word cloud
The successful ones always seem to have something we never will

 

Because she loves to run, we think she loves to run.

But she struggles.

And no one knows.

Some days, and often for weeks at a time, she struggles to enjoy it.

She wants to quit.

It becomes a have to do, a need to do, not a get to do.

This is truth and when we feel like her, plow through it.

Anything…

But do not quit!
