Sunday's Work

Despite the advancement of a cold or flu like symptoms, I persevere, I go on the best I can as though I have no symptoms. Whether this is the best policy for a return to health I know not.
I do because that is what I am used to doing, and so it goes.

Overtime

Overtime. Some times you have to work longer, work harder and push yourself past the norm.

In baseball we have extra innings, in tennis it's the tie breaker, hockey, soccer and football it's overtime. At the workplace most hourly employees get paid time and a half for overtime or in some cases double time, the idea being you should be compensated for going beyond the norm. In your physical training routine, going for the long run, or extra hard bike ride might count as overtime, though no one is going to compensate you for your efforts. Your rewards here come in the form of fitness and self achievement. You build confidence and character, fitness and endurance, this is your compensation for physical training going ...overtime.

"Double Brick"

Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom

Building blocks towards success of your choice; Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom.
You may be born with the genes for strength and intelligence, if not you can develop yourself so that you may become stronger and smarter. Wisdom however comes from experience and study. All who have strength and intelligence may not be wise in the ways of the world and therefore can waste much of their strength and intelligence. Over time one can become wise if one can learn from their mistakes and press always forward in life. Should you be so ever fortunate to combine the awesome power of strength, intelligence and wisdom together in meeting life's joys and challenges you are living a high quality of life and are on your way to mastering the building blocks for success, however you may define it in your life. Enjoy it all.

The Double Reverse Brick

Going The Extra Mile

PRE

Going the extra mile, whether in training or otherwise in life, giving that extraordinary effort requires a positive mental attitude and perseverance. The runner that most inspires me in this way is the great Steve Prefontaine. He was a front runner, he always gave his all. Pre is no longer with us on this earthly plane but he continue to inspire and motivate runners and athletes from around the world. Give yourself a chance to go the extra mile and reap the rewards.
