Succinct and Pertinent

#1 - I TRIED TO GET THIS TO embed and be near the end, Minutes 1:05:55-1:07:19, but I'm getting frustrated and going to have to let that go.

Succinct and Pertinent - This couple minutes makes a lot of sense and synthesizes a few things (politically).

#2 - This time of year is in between exercise wise.  I don't jog or bike. I can't cross country ski..I have little patience for treadmills, but last year I discovered the "Sprint 8" workout. It is a 20 minute work out, but you walk most of it.  A warm-up, then 8 30 second runs, each followed by a 2 minute walk. I play soccer once a week and that involves sprinting and recovery.  I get excited to play and then I'm on the field and yikes, it's hard. So this is good for me.

So I'm starting to try and incorporate this Sprint 8 workout mid-week/Wed.  Today I could do it over lunch or, since my last family cancelled - around 5pm.  I was tempted to wait til 5. It was appealing to put it off, even though I knew I'd probably regret that.

But instead of arguing with myself, I told myself, "You can wait if you want," and I meant it.  And that allowance to not force it, made me walk over and do it, because I knew that would ultimately make me feel better.

#3 - After I got off the treadmill an older gentleman remarked, "You make me jealous. I can't do that anymore."

#4 - I listened to Womenfolk on KFAI community radio this AM and discovered a new artist - Antje Duvekot 

 

#5 -  The family that cancelled today said Wed no longer works for them.  I'm happy the day they picked is the other day I already work evenings, so now I can do all my late visits on the same day.
