The bottoms of the Delta first class cabin seats seem astonished at the news…and seem to be gasping, “oh no!”

 

We must beg, borrow, even steal sometimes in order to get the time to be active.

Seriously.

Even those that make it look easy must do this.

Why?

Because it is never easy.

It costs time.

Whether you are motivated or not, there is a price to pay.

Time.

Our goal is to have very few days, if any at all, like this

Mid Life Celebration excerpt
Work will always be one of the highest ranked excuses for not exercising.

 

Ran for an hour yesterday. Ran 50 minutes the day before that.

While running, thought this morning would be another great opportunity for a long, slow run.

Awoke at 2:30am and it’s now six hours later.

No run.

Time for more work.

No time to run, not even one mile?

Nope.

There are times when the last thing we have time to do is run

There are times when the last thing we have time to do is run.

As long as these times are the exception and not the norm, we’ll be fine.

Some of you know this if you’ve worked hard enough and long enough

iPhone screen shot of run time
Not making this up. The focus and discipline it takes to understand pace is astonishing.

 

Fastest post (July) surgery mile run so far. Didn’t particularly feel like running at a higher level, but after a mile warmup and some light stretching, decided to push a little – nothing ambitious.

Quickly realized that not exercising for the past three days provided the gift of a well-rested body. Within 30 seconds a notion – let’s shoot for a 6:20 mile.

Some of you know this if you’ve worked hard enough and long enough – you can get really good at delivering on what you say you’re gonna do.

As we seek motivation, we can strive for simplicity and effectiveness

jeff noel's mile time trial time
October 11, 2013’s goal was a 6:40 mile

 

Ran this morning before writing. And the running has been a struggle since the letdown of not going to Nationals – remember the double inguinal hernia repair two weeks before the meet back in July?

As we seek motivation, we can strive for simplicity and effectiveness. Nationals is the only meet I plan to run and set a goal for. One year, one race. It’s enough.

One year, no race.

No worries.

Twice this week did two 800’s at 3:20 pace, with a five-minute rest in between. This was a post surgery ability stretch. An hour ago I decided to do a mile time trial and shot for 6:40, which is back-to-back 3:20’s (with no rest in between).

The time above shows the results. Motivation is like a fire and we must constantly add fuel to it.

You get this, right?
