You wake up

you bike to work……you sell some shoes, you stock the shelves, organize the storage room, you bike home…….you go to your run club, a quick – really quick – 4K…’cause, there’s hockey!

I gotta say, I’ve never felt so good….doing stuff, with people……and by myself.

I don’t know it’s because I’m now almost constantly active, because it’s summer – almost – but I have never felt so positive…

Maybe that’s the secret…just doing rather than just watching, a do-er, not a watcher…….it’s not about being fit, it’s not about trying to be the best at everything……or anything, it’s just getting off of the couch,

and just doing…….taking those deep breaths.

not the prettiest picture, but, feeling good…..do you sit on the beach, or do you dive right in…

yeah, I am stupid old….63.5, but it feels like, every day it feels like I’m playing……I don’t think about anything, or what, I just go……this isn’t about becoming fit, or eating healthy, just, well, playing….

I think I’ve figured this thing out…

and an admission……last night, I woke up, and thought, maybe I’d give up…….give up on the Run Clubs, retire from my Running Room job……a low moment…

then this morning, hopped onto the bike, rode down a few paths….and, well, never felt better…..and worked hard…for 5 hours, without missing a beat….doing something I love doing…..

and then tonight’s run club…sure only 1 more runner, but, a run….another positive….all positive

So feeling fine, living, outside in the sun…..walking, running, biking…..getting stronger every day……

a life well lived, that’s it’s own reward….
