We will persist when we are interested.
When the thing has meaning and value to us.
We spend a lot of time trying to develop persistence. Maybe we should spend more time cultivating interest.

3. Make a "not-to-do list"
Knowing what to do is important.
Knowing what NOT to do is equally important.
Make a list of the 5 to 10 things that distract you most—AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS.

Run streaks are neither good, nor bad. Do what makes you happy, but don't hang to to anything too tightly.

Often, the same strength coaches who laugh at distance runners' misguided fear that lifting any weights will bulk them up…
Are afraid any sort of jogging will magically sap all of their athlete's speed.
Both are the same. Misguided fears that aren't based on reality.

The people with whom you surround yourself shape you.
Plus: we're all going to die anyways, so don't waste your time on assholes.

Sure—Anchorage has more landmass counting Chugach State Park, Kincaid, tidelands, and the like. But, we don’t plow every inch of the Muni…
Here’s the important comparison:
City of Buffalo maintains and plows 1,600 miles of roads.
Municipality of Anchorage? 1,281 miles. – at Anchorage, AK

Switzerland: let’s have a race go around a building
Italy: let’s have a race go THROUGH a building
USA: that FSU course is definitely a meter short

I was wondering if I was running out of things to say these days. Then I went to San Francisco last week and THIS rant came out. 😄
