Getting ready to go on my 40 minute silent walk this morning. Yesterday’s version was in the dark, and I kept thinking about something super important that should help you. Any change can be hard. But the beauty of hard is that when you do it consistently, it becomes easier. It even becomes easy. It’s very easy for me to go to the gym. It’s easy for me to eat healthier. It’s easy for me to do many of the things we’re going to be talking about during the sprint. But walking with a 40 pound backpack on for 40 straight days has proven to be challenging for me at least at the beginning. I can just about guarantee you that over the next couple of weeks it will become much easier. Lean into hard, it’s totally worth it

Is there one last call today at Noon?

Went to bed at midnight and my internal clock still had me get up at 5:30….. any suggestions for forcing myself to sleep in to get my eight hours of sleep?

I’m truly fascinated that with the wave of monitoring tools available ; the nutritionists along with the scientific human performance scientists have not yet created the holy grail for athletes : Like your blood sugar , why aren’t they yet monitoring the blood content of protein/ carbs / and fat ? We know the interest is in how much of these gms enter the actual muscles themselves ; but —— THE BLOOD CONTENT IS CERTAINLY BETTER THAN THE ESTIMATED INGESTION ! Ha - see the tools that your kids and grandchildren will have to accelerate their training ?

No matter whether I go to bed at 9 o’clock or 10 o’clock, I always seem to get up before 6 AM. I get so much done early in the morning. 60 push ups done, 16 oz water done, Bible reading done, pool cleaned and filled, coffee made now heading to work!
