yeah…this is where, well, it gets frustraiting….a little……

had a huge day planned…and then, well life….

should be simple right..just walk out the door, back door, and start running..or biking, can’t swim, cause, well….obvious….but for some reason, that’s become an issue for me…..if I plan a run from home, my house, in my hood, I will go above and beyond to find a reason to not too……oh look Facebook!!!…house stuff, cut the lawn, oh look i drank way too many cups of coffee!…….

that was this morning……the news, the local news, the westcoast news, the national news…..a video about sporty spice competing in triathlons……

then the other thing…I have an autistic adult daughter, cannot be left alone…we do have a worker, that works with her…great right?……sometimes……today, yeah things were okay, but my great day became, well, get outside, and get it done, because it’s noon, and the worker leaves at 1:30………so that works

I finally got out……insentive I guess, that’s what you need……right now, I have no goal, no planned race, just, well…do what I do cause I feel a hell of a lot better afterwards…and it’s fun?

Drove to my fave spot, threw on the cap, and went……..just over 5K, nothing too quick..but – as a guy am I allowed to say this – I really pretty autumn run……a couple of hills……and liked it…for some reason, not a lot of other people out..it was way busier during this COVID era up until now – I don’t know why?…seems to be more people on bikes, but not many on foot, running?…..is that a good sign?..people have less free daytime time?

So lesson…just DO IT?…thanks Nike…….

I for some reason, I think I’ve come up with a plan, just roll with it…when I have time, when I can, do……today, that’s how it works…I like to run, bike, swim…..yoga, just move in or on something other than 4 wheels…I like it when I get behind the wheel of my car and it feels odd, because it’s been days/weeks since I last found myself in that car seat….so, less frustraited?…….

for me, this has to be, good….no stress, active should relieve stress, not cause it….it’s not good to be frustraited because you can’t do what you want to, would like to do……

I am retired, but a husband, a father, and yeah, I work part time selling shoes and instructing run clinics/groups……so, I should have all the time in the world, the frustraiting part….is convincing myself that I do have all the time in the world, but to use it….it’s like having a fishing boat, a really good fishing boat, a lake, but watching someone else fishing, on TV, instead….

so, the goal, to figure this out…and get ready for 2022?
