00:01:04,300 — 00:01:11,620
roblox with running in 1981 i exploded
my anterior cruciate ligament on my left

10
00:01:11,620 — 00:01:17,320
leg and left me and my my orthopedic
surgeon said you know Mike you’re going

11
00:01:17,320 — 00:01:22,389
to have arthritis when you hit 40 45 and
you probably shouldn’t run more than

12
00:01:22,390 — 00:01:27,130
five or six miles in any point I was
laid up for a little bit in about a year

13
00:01:27,130 — 00:01:31,240
and a half ago I had a problem with it
but you know through the magic of

14
00:01:31,240 — 00:01:39,190
science and chemicals have been able to
to run that’s the only obstacle i’m

15
00:01:39,190 — 00:01:43,240
running into an obstacle now have a
different nature because i have just

16
00:01:43,240 — 00:01:50,710
taken on a new position with a company
in Dorchester mass so it requires me to

17
00:01:50,710 — 00:01:54,910
make a long commute from New Hampshire
which means i really have a have to

18
00:01:54,910 — 00:01:58,509
figure out how I’m going to run during
the week i may end up trying to figure

19
00:01:58,509 — 00:02:01,869
out how to run during the day while I’m
down there other than that i’m going to

20
00:02:01,869 — 00:02:06,69
be a weekend warrior and that’s not good
so that is an obstacle in itself but

21
00:02:06,69 — 00:02:07,479
i’ll figure out something

22
00:02:07,479 — 00:02:12,250
no but obstacles are only what
physically and mentally and emotionally

23
00:02:12,250 — 00:02:17,470
hold you back and you have to figure out
how to overcome those just keep moving

24
00:02:17,470 — 00:02:24,850
forward aged a lot of people think about
ages as stopping you i think age is just

25
00:02:24,850 — 00:02:29,829
a number and until my body says no I’m
gonna keep running

26
00:02:29,830 — 00:02:34,780
so how about with any of your disney
stuff have you had any roblox I you know

27
00:02:34,780 — 00:02:39,220
I think if if i was going to say
roadblock it would be that I’m not

28
00:02:39,220 — 00:02:44,530
wealthy enough to just sit and write and
talk to me all day long they have been

29
00:02:44,530 — 00:02:49,930
many times where I have wanted to do
certain things but Disney sometimes has

30
00:02:49,930 — 00:02:56,530
to take a backseat to the priorities in
life be it work be a family get health

31
00:02:56,530 — 00:02:59,290
whatever so the roadblock

32
00:02:59,290 — 00:03:05,19
sometimes time and there are times when
I wish I could clone myself because I’ll

33
00:03:05,19 — 00:03:09,489
think of something I want to do disney
wise and I won’t be able to do it

34
00:03:09,489 — 00:03:13,719
because there’s something that sort of
