One Perfect Saturday

Beau Miles is a wholesome inspiration. 5 years ago, he ran a marathon one mile per hour, filling the gaps with a whole host of practical tasks. He made this video about it.

I watched that video last Wednesday and thought “I should do that”. The running appealed to me, but getting stuff done REALLY appealed to me. I didn’t have the inclination, time or energy to run 26 miles though, so I halved it, running 13 miles over 13 hours, and getting tonnes done in between.

Some Day Syndrome

When you’re younger it’s all “Not now” and “Once you’ve done your homework” and “That’s too expensive” and “Next time”.

I woke up a legal adult with these phrases ringing in my ears and no fun scheduled.

A bit of delayed gratification is good for you, but 20 years?

I hearby give myself, and you if you need it, permission to have fun, now.

What’s more, spend money on it, if you want to. Don’t blow the bank, but invest in having fun like you invest in your retirement. And don’t wait for retirement to have fun! Your other resources will be depleting.
