Uncover your inner athlete!

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.. Each morning in Africa a lion awakes - it knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve.


No matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up you had better be running!

Last minute prep for the challenge!

So I’ve been loading up on some 'harden the hell up' juice today and have done all the necessary – been to see doctor (tick), bought groceries (tick yesterday), vital signs taken (tick). All in order.

Doctor said to me that she can’t understand half the things that I do or why I would want to put my body through what she termed ‘unnecessary discomfort’, but she pronounced me in her own words ‘fit as a fiddle’ and reckons that the week is in no way going to kill me (mind you I have no intention of dying either) – still have way too much to do, give and see in this lifetime.

Vital signs this morning:

Waking pulse – 42 (usually in the high 30s, but not too bad)
Weight – 70Kg
Body fat – 9.4% (would like to be closer to 7%, but not bad)
Blood pressure – normal
Energy levels normal
Exercise for the day – 1.5hours of weights and bike in the gym

Now comes the fun and games of planning for the $14 worth of meals of the coming week. Onwards and upwards folks.

As Gandhi said, ‘Poverty is the worst form of violence’.

Finally one of Dan’s classics from Neither Wolf nor Dog ‘You want to know how to be like indians? Live close to the earth. Get rid of some of your things. Help each other. Talk to the creator. Be quiet more. Listen to the earth instead of building things on it all the time.

Running together – while living closer to the earth - stride for stride on a life changing ride! – Sean Muller
