In this episode we talk about the ways of staying active during a busy life. It happens to the best of us. We plan to get any activity or workout in, but then the day gets away from us. Whether the day never lets up, or it just feels like "what's the point now" it doesn't get done for the rest of the day. Use the points in this episode to help fit in your fitness and time for you. 

When you're busy, it's essential to find creative ways to stay active. Here are some strategies:

1. **Break it Down:** Fit in short bursts of activity throughout your day, even if it's just 10 minutes at a time.
2. **Maximize Efficiency:** Choose workouts that give you the most bang for your buck, like HIIT or circuit training.
3. **Prioritize Activities:** Identify activities that you enjoy and that give you the most benefit, then prioritize them in your schedule.
4. **Incorporate Movement:** Look for opportunities to move more during your daily tasks, like pacing while on phone calls or doing squats while waiting for food to cook.
5. **Schedule Workouts:** Treat exercise as non-negotiable appointments in your calendar to ensure they happen.
6. **Be Flexible:** Don't get discouraged if your routine gets disrupted. Be flexible and find alternative ways to stay active.
7. **Use Technology:** Utilize fitness apps or online workout videos for quick and convenient exercise sessions.
8. **Combine Activities:** Incorporate physical activity into activities you already do, like walking meetings or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
9. **Delegate and Share Responsibilities:** Delegate tasks when possible to free up time for exercise, and share responsibilities with family or colleagues to lighten your load.
10. **Stay Consistent:** Consistency is key. Even small, consistent efforts can add up to significant benefits over time.

In this episode James talks about his recent aviation journey and what led to his desire to start pursuing his Private Pilot Certificate. From childhood memories of large regional air shows at THA, to day to day interactions with clients and friends in aviation, there are lots of ties to aviation. Living in Tullahoma with one of the greatest airports around, also helps a bit to nudge someone with a slight interest into pursuing more. Tullahoma Regional Airport boasts multiple runways, a skydiving center, and a first class FBO. The Beechcraft Heritage Museum sits just off the end of runway 18/36 and is probably one of the top aviation museums in the nation. Add in the Arnold Engineering Development Center Air Force Base just a few miles down the street, and you don't have to go very far to get exposed to planes, flying, and the skies.

This episode covers some high level discussion on Flying Drones both recreationally and under Part 107. Obtaining your Part 107 Certificate should not be considered too overwhelming... and even easier if you already hold a part 61 certificate. I recently passed my Private Pilot Certificate Checkride and the path to a Part 107 was an easy and natural progression. There were a few differences in the material, but much of the same information.

What I currently fly today:
DJI Mavic Air 2

2. **Prioritize Tasks**: Identify the most important tasks at work and in your personal life, and focus on completing those first.

3. **Learn to Say No**: Don't take on more than you can handle. Be selective about the projects and commitments you accept.

4. **Delegate When Possible**: Delegate tasks at work and at home to others who are capable and willing to help.

5. **Schedule Downtime**: Make time for relaxation and leisure activities in your schedule, and treat them as non-negotiable appointments.

6. **Limit Screen Time**: Reduce the amount of time you spend on electronic devices, especially outside of work hours, to create space for other activities.

In this episode we discuss Setting Goals and Pursuing Dreams.

Setting Goals
1. Power of Proximity - Surround yourself with positive people
2. Have a Vision - Don't limit your vision by historical boundaries
3. Breakdown Barriers
    Roger Bannister = sub 4:00 minute mile
    Eliud Kipchoge = sub 2:00 hour marathon
Something seemingly impossible can turn into a very attainable goal once someone proves it's possible.
4. Barrier to Entry: Do the hard thing. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
        The higher the barrier the entry the harder it will be. Higher Risk = Higher Reward
        Lower Barrier to entry = Lower Risk and more people doing it


Pursuing Dreams
1. **Define Your Dream:** Clearly articulate what your dream is. Be specific about your goals and envision what success looks like for you.

2. **Set SMART Goals:** Break down your dream into smaller, achievable goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

3. **Create a Plan:** Develop a step-by-step plan outlining the actions you need to take to move toward your dream. This plan should serve as your roadmap.

4. **Educate Yourself:** Acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for your pursuit. Continuous learning and improvement are key components of achieving dreams.

5. **Take Action:** Begin taking small, consistent steps towards your goals. Action is crucial in turning dreams into reality.

6. **Stay Persistent:** Expect challenges and setbacks. Persistence is often the key to overcoming obstacles and staying on course.

7. **Seek Support:** Surround yourself with supportive individuals who share your vision or can provide guidance. A supportive network can be invaluable.

8. **Adaptability:** Be flexible and open to adjustments. Circumstances may change, and being adaptable allows you to navigate unexpected challenges.

9. **Celebrate Milestones:** Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements along the way. Recognizing progress can boost motivation.

10. **Reflect and Adjust:** Regularly evaluate your progress, reflect on what's working and what isn't, and adjust your approach accordingly.

Remember, pursuing a dream is a journey with ups and downs. Stay focused, resilient, and committed to your vision.

In this episode I discuss facts about the Boston Marathon Race. Since its inception in 1897, it is probably one of the most iconic and recognizable marathons in the world. Some runners would say it is their unicorn of a race and maybe that lends to the medal design by the Boston Athletic Association.

1. Facts about Boston Marathon
2. Qualifying for the Boston Marathon
3. Training and more specifically my training plan for a run at a BQ in September at Boston or Bust
