Daily Training

Earlier: an easy 1:15 run, shaking out a few cobwebs. Proud form, quick tempo, 21 right foot falls in 15 seconds, driving the arms forward (because where your arms go the body follows.) Pushing it up the hills, running strongly down. Stretching before and after.

Now: reviewing tomorrow's schedule and re-caffeinating with an extra-shot Redeye.

Later: haven't planned that far ahead! It's Sunday!

Quote for the day: "Pain (any pain--emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls into one of two categories: "We would be more alive if we did more of this," and, "Life would be more lovely if we did less of that." Once we get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away. (Peter McWilliams, Life 101)

The Daily Dose, Vertically Speaking

‎"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult."

(E.B. White)

Words To Live By

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives." (FREDERICK F. FLACK)

Quote of the day: "You don't have to live your life the way other people expect you to."
