Consistency, Technology, and Choice

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Three Tips 0 comments tags: change, consistency, fitness approach, goal setting, measure, movement, stay on track, taking action
Training season has started for this year’s fall races, and I’m thankful for the slightly cooler temperatures, even if the break in the heat is only temporary. K and I ran four miles in the rain yesterday, and we’re looking forward to getting back into a regular running routine over the coming weeks.

Musings on Adaptability

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.

What’s Your Fitness Strategy?

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: consistency, execution, fitness approach, goal setting, habits, identity, measure, movement, ownership, setting intentions, strategy, tactics, taking action, values
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.

Steps for Getting Started

I’m starting to compile a list of resources for new computer users, and I thought that it might be interesting to take the same approach with thinking about exercise as a new activity for a person to consider. Though using technology didn’t look the same in the 1980s as it does today, my elementary school had computers in every classroom from at least second grade, from what I can remember.

Habits and Trend Lines

Have you ever set a fitness goal, achieved that goal, and then gone back to your previous not-as-active habits…even though you were hoping that the fitness goal would inspire an ongoing change in your exercise behavior?

An Outsized Return

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: adaptability, being present, challenge, change, consistency, execution, goal setting, habits, movement, stay on track, stress management, taking action
Exercise is one of those activities that gives you an outsized return on your investment. When you spend time exercising, you experience benefits that are not necessarily contained in or confined to the time you are exercising.

What Is Your Why?

Until this past weekend, it had been a year and a half since I ran more than 17 miles at once. 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).

Spring Into Action

Spring is almost here. Next weekend, we’ll spring ahead to adjust for Daylight Saving Time in Ohio, and the following Saturday will mark the equinox. I’m so excited! Warmer temps are coming! 🥰

The Time for Action

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals, Self-Care 0 comments tags: being present, consistency, execution, habits, taking action, well-being
Have you ever been so excited or concerned about something in the future that you miss what’s happening for you here in the present? Or have you been so focused on the past that you aren’t engaging in the present?

Who Are You?

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: adaptability, change, consistency, execution, fitness approach, goal setting, habits, identity, taking action, values
Can you hear it? (“Who, who? Who, who?”) It’s been years since I’ve seen a CSI episode, but I can hear the theme song in my mind right now (and will probably be humming the tune all day). So, who are you?
