What do we do when our grand plans for our normal exercise routine fall apart?

Yesterday’s morning workload extended into the heat of mid morning and I no longer had any desire or ambition to run in the heat.

Went for an hour long walk in the tree-lined community across the street.

But I hate running

How difficult is it to be a swimmer?

 

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.

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.
