At the Egg & I

I haven't been able to turn off this book "Think and Grow Rich" on my iPod. I finished it a couple days ago and went right back to the beginning. I just now got into a section of it that I never noticed before that talks about leadership. It's really made me listen this time though; caught my attention. I can't remember all the points that have been made about what good leadership takes, but one was that good leaders are pleasant to be around. Always. That's definitely not me. Sometimes I just need the other person to be pleasant. But maybe, just maybe I can be pleasant more consistently each day.

Anyway! Back to the book! I think I'm gonna rewind that section and listen to it one mo' again. 

Over and over

If you ate too much, too late last night. If at 2:30 your eyeballs popped open on their own and refused to close again all the way up to your scheduled run time of 4:30. Even if you have to slow down, I mean WAY down, after the second mile. Even if your max is the second mile, or the first mile...or even the first half of a mile. Even if you started four years ago, quit for three, and the voice in your head said that the same thing is just going to happen:

Start. Just. Start. Start anyway. Over and over and over again.

Like Jon Acuff says, "The Start is the only part of the journey you can control." And definitely pick up his book Start.

And seriously guys. Spandex.
