Doing 100-meter striders on the curves, i noticed something that was remarkable.
So when we finished and were walking i was so happy to tell him, “For the first time, you really looked like a runner.”
Dear son, here’s to hoping you always remember that moment.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
This used to be a daily one-way trip to work, at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Haven’t done this since i was younger. Went for a 30-mile bike ride yesterday.
When we permanently relocated to Walt Disney World in 1984, the first three years i was riding a bicycle to work. We were a one-car family. Cheryl got the car.
In 1984 it was a daily 36-mile roundtrip ride from our roach-infested Kissimmee apartment to Disney’s River Country Water Park and back.
From 1985-1987, it was a 30-mile one-way trip from our 1,100 square foot starter home to Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
The ride home was in my neighbor’s pickup truck. We both had the same 4pm-12am shift with identical days off. Gene was a washing machine mechanic at Disney’s only laundry at the time. There are four laundries now.

Taught our son how to make a firewood sled – a simple way to transport armfuls of wood in a single trip.
Minutes before, we completed three mailboxes.
Our son and i have begun the fourth week of running. We ran to the third mailbox from ours last night. The first week we ran to the mailbox closest to ours, about 100 meters away. The second week we repeated that distance. Week three (last week) we added another mailbox for a total of two (200 meters total). This week we added another mailbox for our new total distance of three mailboxes (300 meters). This is a big deal even though it’s so insignificant.
