MOLESKINE: It’s just One workout….   

YHC read this post from F3’s Dark Helmet as I glanced at LinkedIn.  I couldn’t say it any better. 

 

It’s just one workout, what difference does it make?

Each time we choose easy and safe and comfortable, that “track” in our brains becomes smoother to travel later.

This will ultimately lead to a life of hanging on in quiet desperation…

#Resist.

 

I’ve got to admit, I’ve been a slacking a bit.  Yes…I’m coming back from an injury AND I could have chosen to modify as necessary and I have not.  Be better than I have been.  As DOAH (Darkest of All Helmets) says, “Resist”

Many of us have seen our elders who are hanging on in quiet desperation.  Don’t let yourself be “that guy”.  If you haven’t seen someone in the Gloom for a while call them.  Ask them if they need a ride…better yet tell them you’ll honk your horn outside their house at 0515 and give them a ride. 😉

 

Aye!
