AM - 4th 10 miler in a row...that's about all I can handle without my back hurting too much but enough that I still feel good about it. Ran in my cushiony shoes, and they were a relief to my feet today. Jake and I thought we had caught a window in the rain storm, then the downpour started at about 6.5 miles until the end. 40 degrees and raining isn't ideal but it wasn't too bad, entertaining at least!

Lesson Five -10,000
hours is only part of a much bigger picture. Just punching a clock
accumulating hours, starting to specialize early and put in your time
each day is no guarantee for excellence. You do need some talent, a lot
of direction, laser focus and a will to succeed in order to make the
practice meaningful. Excellence requires a growth mindset a willingness
to risk and make mistakes and the ability to learn from those mistakes.
It is a journey where many are called and not as many chose to complete
the journey. |
