I might be the only one but I’m probably not.  

Have you ever had an idea to do something but it stops at an idea and doesn’t actually happen?

This idea isn’t totally out there, I don’t think.  I’m pretty sure it’s called procrastination.

Sometimes, though, things just get done.  The ideas come and the action flows.  It could be anything like emptying the dishwasher or folding those clothes that just came out of the dryer.

Maybe it’s sitting down to write a blog post that will eventually turn into a podcast episode.
  
I hope this message, if nothing else, lets you know you’re not alone in your propensity to procrastinate.  

The best way to avoid procrastination is to just do it… right?

That sounds about right, most of the time.  

Sometimes, I think, it might be best to put it in the cue and move through it when the more pressing ideas fade.  

One thing I think that is oftentimes overlooked is personal wellbeing.  That might be the most procrastinated thing in our lives.  

And, you know what?

There isn’t a more keystone idea that exists than taking care of your body and mind.

The physiological and psychological effects of dialing in regular exercise, eating food on purpose, getting adequate sleep, and disconnecting with digital devices is undeniable.

Every once and awhile a run takes on a life of it's own.  That's what happened today.

Today's workout was a really fun interval workout through the brisk, crunchy trails at French Park Reserve in Plymouth, MN.  

I've been wearing different shoes lately, one's I used to wear when I first got into trail running in 2009.  That familiar gait on the trail having traveled thousands of miles in training and races feels good and provides me with opportunities to work on things I hadn't in awhile.

Fall is a fun season to run.  Temps have cooled and the bugs have all gone away.  The forest sings songs of deer scurrying off and squirrels playing tag in nearby trees.  

I like running fast.  Age catches up with us all and I've slowed down quite a bit in the last five or six years.  In my younger years, especially my childhood, I was always running, and I loved it!

My run this afternoon developed a theme.  Downhill was my idea of the day and it was really fun to honor that throughout the workout.  

I like football.  I played football in high school and college.  The idea of running downhill even on flat ground makes sense to me.  Today, I even ran downhill, uphill.  

The idea was that I would continue to put pressure on the moment and grow from it.  

This kind of pressure, when manifested by doing things that you enjoy can lead to clearer purpose and more disciplined execution.
