Falling behind with the 2014 comeback

Not even time to walk outside after room service dinner

 

Second unintentional no-run morning. Why? Lost voice yesterday and focused on rest over exercise.

Unplanned.

Falling behind with the 2014 comeback.

This is what balance helps with…

Not worrying too much about these constant curve balls.

Lance Armstrong & Mahatma Gandhi.

“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”Mahatma Gandhi

Found this quote contained in Lance Armstrong’s Twitter message the other day.

You can follow Lance Armstrong on Twitter.  He has over 1.3 million Twitter followers.

Indomitable will.  I can’t get that word out of my mind.  Indomitable.

Impossible to defeat.  This is incomprehensible for me.

Kinda like going to Finland in three weeks for the World Championships.

Ever get a perfect health score?

Ever get a perfect health score?

Friday’s strength test and core test proved one thing in particular.

A decade worth of hard work, persistence, determination, goal setting, set backs, failures, successes, sweat, pain, motivation,  lack of confidence, confusion, stress, progress, injuries, rehab, physical therapy, core workouts, speed work, and endurance work.

Plus, stretching, flexibility training, 5k’s, 10k’s, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1,500 meters, obsession, surrender, thinking, smiling, hoping, visioning, praying, playing, involving family, sacrificing family, nutrition, reading, studying, working full time, volunteering, dreaming, sleeping, lying awake, and probably many more – but I better stop now.

The result?

A perfect score!  My physical therapist determined my core was a perfect score of 21 out of 21.  She used a test used on professional athletes to look for imbalances and weaknesses.

The leg strength test showed my right versus left leg was only 2/10ths of a percent apart.

The staff at Florida Hospital Rehab awarded me the “Most Symmetrical Person” they have ever seen there.

What all of this means is that the efforts have yielded extra-ordinary results.

Life is like that.  You reap what you sow.

I’ll try to not forget that simple truth.  Even though I’m easily distracted.  “Oh look, a bird”!

Make today a day to at least consider your physical health and ask yourself, “Am I investing in my health”?   Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂
