Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics. This week’s Tuesday Topic: The Letter L? Remember to link-up with Kim and Zenaida and the bottom of this post.
We’re trying something a little different for this week’s Tuesday Topics. Today is the 12th day of September hence the 12th letter of the alphabet. Write anything that comes to mind that begins with the letter “L”.
When thinking about the letter L, there were two words that immediately came to mind.
Laughter
Laughing a lot, and often, is something I make a point to do every day. Let’s face it – sometimes it can seem like everything is a dumpster fire but we still have to try to keep a positive attitude and find joy when and where we can. It may sounds weird, but I often like to wind down at night and watch funny TikTok video – usually involving funny pets, lol. Those videos just always make me laugh no matter what.
Longevity
This is a word I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, especially in terms of fitness. I feel like my entire mindset around fitness is totally different now vs 10 years ago. Back then I was all about chasing PRs, or signing up for as many races as possible, etc. Now my focus really centers around finding exercises that I enjoy so that I can continue doing them for as long as possible. That’s really been the catalyst behind doing more strength workouts the past 2 years. Since I no longer have the desire to do endurance running, I wanted to focus on other forms of exercise to add longevity to my life.

Topic for next week – What are your Fall running plans and/or race schedule?
I like to relax with funny TikTok videos, too!
The older I get, the more I think about how to keep my body healthy and fit while growing older. I agree that strength workouts, particularly heavy lifting, are important factors that keep our bones and muscles strong. I want to focus more on mobility and flexibility, too. It seems that the older I get, the more I need to do!
It’s so true! I often feel like I have to do more pre and post work, especially stretching, as I get older.
Laughter and longevity – two good words that start with the letter L. Love is also another good word for me because of how much I love life.
Love is another good one!
Love those words. So important.
I’m marathon training so only one thing comes to mind.
Running with friends is key to having a good run because they make me laugh. It’s always fun.
And longevity? That’s why I’m running a marathon. Life is short. And I’m doing it until I can’t. Then I’ll do something else that challenges me.
I love your mindset Darlene!
Those are two GREAT words! “Longevity” is also why I started taking strength training seriously. I realized I wouldn’t have healthy bones and muscles in my old age unless I do something about it. And I want to keep running until I die, so I have to stay strong.
I definitely need to laugh more. Maybe I should check out these TikTok videos.
Yes to all of this! Strength training is so important as we get older.
This is fun-laughter, Love and longevity for me. It is important to continue doing fitness activities I love to do that will keep me as healthy as possible as I age.
I couldn’t agree more!
Great words! Laughter is good for the soul. I like watching funny cat videos. Once I showed them to my students and they were also laughing.
