I didn’t blog yesterday because I was exhausted. Started at the new gym-wellness center on Monday morning. I wish could take Charity with me over there, but it is what it is.
Then I had to attend an HOA meeting out here in Deer Creek-North Edmond. I was so emotionally spent after the meeting ….. I came home and collapsed. Hence…Motivational Monday on Tuesday.
Being diagnosed with a Stage 4 cancer is a walk in the park compared to the dehumanizing experience of being an Edmond HOA president, Vice-President…or just a member. I mean…like wow….. it’s something in between an Alex Jones podcast and a Federalist Society Convention.
Beating Stage 4 cancer is a walk in the park compared to that bullshit. Just saying.
Got up this morning, ate my fruit, drank my hibiscus tea…and then touched my lucky penny from the kid which I placed on top of a small box with Pauli’s ashes.
North Park is a great place to walk when it’s either extremely hot or cold. Unbelievable place to walk or then just have a coffee or tea or eats at Ron’s Burgers or Hacienda Tacos.
I worked hard today. Very hard.
Did a mile today. Then some core and leg strengthening.
Then a black coffee at Ron’s.
On my first walk in the mall…I was pretty much in the slower third pacewise. Second time….probably middle third. Today… I determined a top third pace couple and nudged them at the finish line as I heard Charity’s voice exulting me on, “Go Mike, you go. You can do this …. just like Secretariat.”
This song I posted atop by Chris Cross was was blaring on the loud speaker system while I jostled for the lead at the wire and won by a nose.
It was a great day for me.
Be content and stay out of the heat during the afternoon.
