I hope that you feel you are making progress toward your fitness goals, you are enjoying the journey, and you’ve learned and applied at least one new approach as a result of reading my regular musings.
The month of June has arrived and it’s hot. 🥵 We only just turned on the air again last Friday — after running a fan for a few evenings, we realized that the furnace was still set to heat, rather than to cool.
After conversations with two marketing consultants last week, I started thinking about how the elements of strategy and tactics can be applied to fitness as well as business. So that we’re on the same page, “strategy” refers to the long-term mission or objective, and “tactics” refers to the short-term actions or projects that are used to move a business toward the long-term mission.

I had to look back at my training logs to confirm the date, mileage, and pace because I couldn’t remember if I had run that distance in the absence of a fall marathon goal race in 2019 (I knew I hadn’t run that distance in 2020).
When it’s (below) freezing outside and the days are shorter, we all tend to slow down a bit. If you want to stay active during the winter months and find yourself struggling to exercise regularly, here are three tips to help keep you moving during wintertime:
Do you love winter? I can’t say that it’s my favorite time of year, though I appreciate that the frigid season keeps away warm-weather creatures that might take up residence in Ohio without a significant cold period.
