Hot August Nights...& Days

It's been awhile.  I am still around, alive in fact and doing what it is that I do.
I will be updating the monthly records for swim, bike and run workouts in a few days.
The weather is good and there is nothing worth complaining about.  The reality is every now and then I realize just how fortunate I am.  Whatever life struggles and challenges I may have had or will have, I am good.  Good to go. Catch y'all later.  Enjoy it all!

Surf's Up

A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along,
oh
To a handsome man
and baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino...

Signing In

It's been awhile.  In our life, we have our ups and downs.  The day to day struggles and the larger challenges that come at us in so many different ways .  Learning to go with the flow of it all is seemingly part of our mission to this life.  Taking the high road, the road less traveled, the sometimes harder way often proves to be the best choice.  Have yourself a positive perspective and then act accordingly, sage advice herein.  If you find that our culture does not suit you, devise your own.  Get smart by studying.  Get healthy with exercise, physical for the body and mental for the mind.  Then ENJOY IT ALL. 

The way it is:
I run, I cycle and I swim.  I enjoy exercise most of the time.  I do it because it is good for me.  I can't count the number of ways exercise benefits me.  You can if you think you can.
To all: I wish you always the very best and I hope you find your way in health and fitness.

Am I back?  I haven't ever been gone.  Just checking in and staying the course,  Be Great!

Signing Off


  
I have been writing and logging my daily workouts here on this blog for better than a year now.  It's been mostly fun and remains a good way to keep track of my fitness stats and even I can find motivation sometimes from my own thoughts and occasional words of wisdom and/or encouragement.  Lately the daily blog has become kind of a mental chore and I find myself not enjoying the process as I once did. It may be time for a change and so I will try it and find out.  I am signing off today.  It may be for a few days, weeks or months, I just don't know at this writing.   It is likely that I'll blog from time to time and not every single day...for now.  Thanks friends, watchers, sports fans and fitness freaks, I'll get back from time to time, for now I am signing off, remember ENJOY IT ALL!
