Pretty good month considering 15 days in Japan & surprisingly impactful jet lag. Excited to get back into training rhythm through the summer!

@omgsidewalks Getting up early is easy. It’s the going to bed early that MAKES that easy. Once you dial in the 2nd, you’ve got it. Go get ‘em!

@WCCSG_ Terry Nugent. Great QB and great guy.

Bill Simmons on the Nuggets:

“Why do they have to trade anybody to sign Peyton Watson? You have Jokic in your team, pay everyone, F*** off. Kroenke has a gazillion dollars, just keep everybody AND pay Peyton Watson. Your owner is super rich what are we doing?”

I can’t remember a better combo of teams and kick times w/ our home schedule. A few early wins and Canvas is going to be rockin’!!

Today marks the beginning of year 20?!?
In April 2007, on eve of my 41st birthday, I was unexpectedly laid off due. Nervous, scared, uncertain... 3 young kids (12, 10 & 8) & a mortgage. We launched new approach to employee health & wellbeing that moved personalized coaching from margin to core. A few forward-thinking organizations took a chance on us and the rest -albeit w/ plenty of ups & downs - is history.

It's easy to look back w/ rose-colored glasses. I know many are struggling through lay-offs right now. Maybe, just maybe, the unexpected left turn will take you on a journey far beyond anything you imagined. As we begin year 20, I don't remember ever being this excited about the awaiting opportunity to help make a positive difference in this world.

Now is the time. Let's goooo!!!

Lifespan gets the headlines.
Healthspan gets the abstract.
Marginspan gets ignored... and Nowspan isn't even on the radar.
But it doesn't have to be that way: https://t.co/rtJ2L0HFcQ

[Brad Cooper, PhD @Catalyst2Thrive]

Lifespan… Healthspan… Marginspan (avail energy/time beyond “maintenance”) and Nowspan

7 commitments for living life after age 60. Here are first two to get you rolling!

1. Keep picking up the pen. The story isn’t done yet. My choices, decisions, and actions are mine, filling the pen with intentional ink. New chapters, new volumes & perhaps even new stories await.

2. Ignore the noise. The critics. The headline chasers. The naysayers. The whiners. The settlers. The volume of voices urging a slower pace, a pause of purpose and an end to adventure’s call will grow ever louder. Yes - life will continue to change, but I will remain upward aiming and forward oriented — all the way through the finish line tape!

@NuggetWatcher At least!
