But I hate running

But I hate running…

USA Track & Field (USATF) is the National Governing Body for track & field, long-distance running and race walking in the United States. USATF encompasses the world’s oldest organized sports, the World’s #1 Track & Field Team, the most-watched events at the Olympics, the #1 high school and junior high school participatory sport, and more than 30 million adult runners in the United States: www.usatf.org.

Personally, I think running is genius. Do the math. Anywhere. Anytime. Alone or in groups. Fast or slow. Long or short.

As children, we couldn’t help ourselves.

Conformity put an end to that though, didn’t it?

Conformity says, not today, I’m too busy, tired, distracted.

Gets old hearing about all the running and stuff doesn’t it?

What never gets old is how well we feel as we get old.

Because we exercise.

Regularly.

Forever.

PS. This run started way too late. See the tree shadows? Way too late. If the sun is up it’s late already.

 

Running was an obscure application of world class business insights

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

 

Running was an obscure application to test common sense world class business insights.

Through 14 years of speaking full time, I’ve spoken to a million people and believe it or not, a huge confidence booster to becoming a better speaker was that obscure experiment.

In looking for an unlikely, and random, place to test world class business philosophies, I picked running.

In ten short years – from not being able to run at all, to representing the USA at the 2009 Masters Track & Field World championships.

True story.

What I was asking at Mid Life Celebration is simply what’s crossing my mind now

What I was asking at Mid Life Celebration is simply what’s crossing my mind now. In Atlanta waiting for a smaller jet to Iowa.

No time to write five blogs before heading to Orlando airport a few hours ago.

But did have time to run a sub-six minute mile (5:53).

And mow the lawn, do weed control, pool stuff (including a dip), and walk Cooper.

Point is, today is a gift.
