Launching for 5k in a bit.   Writing in the EVERYDAY journal and realized, well I just see something new. 

My clear thinking is overtaking me, and seeing the scale this morning, down about 4 pounds.  From running more consistently, diet, and no wine for over a week.  I feel like another character.

5k, but what if I do more?  What if I can today, TO-DAY, build a business from fitness and running, health and healthy/ier habits.

What do you mean WHAT IF, Mike?

Jousting with SELF this morning in the most encouraging and healthy, enlivening way…

Getting running clothes from dryer, prepping launch.  Temp is… 65.  Perfect.  No hoodie like yesterday.  Was about 68 when I launched yesterday and with the hoodie, too hot.  Uncomfortable.  Surprised I put up the numbers I did, to be honest.

08:53 and launching in a minute.  Well ahead of schedule….  Training myself to be more bullet-point and centralized, consolidated as I’ve said I wanted to do for years.  Route I’m planning is about 5k, maybe a little more.  Either way, following it to see where it takes me.

And that’s what the character needs to do sometimes, just trust the Story, or don’t, but let it move you.  And you as the creative, react.  Putting that in the playbook, maybe.

Back from run.  5.2 miles written.  No pain, no soreness or exhaustion.  Would have done another 10k but have this sales meeting, check-in in a bit.  Then, quick shower, then soon after leaving for Emeryville.

Ideas on run – Run Summary, “Don’t betray your goal”…. Think there was something else but I can’t remember it now.  Logging onto meeting.

Only to log off.  Not much to go over, I guess.  No more real hiring for my division at the moment.  So, this gives me a time to build the curriculum, write prompts and plans, develop my brand.  Like the Universe is giving me gift atop gift.

Learning from this, to keep it simple and singular.  Nothing new needed, just what’s already in place.

I remember what the other idea was.  I’ve had it before but not like today.  And…. HEALTH, Healthy Lifestyle.  And that’s it.  No need to elaborate or compound.

Drink more water, I note again to self here at the Vacaville desk.  Go downstairs, get another Waterloo.  I swear I drink more of these than anyone I know, and probably buy more at the local Nugget than anyone in Vacaville and beyond.

Feeling powerful this morning, and like these two business ideas needs just a little bit of attention to get off the ground.  But with which do I start for emphasis.  Teaching self, and staring with the music.
