Both yesterday and today I almost decided to not run. Both days I got in pretty good workouts. Seemingly small decisions (get out of bed and run) can have large impacts. I suppose a key is to be aware of those decision points and make the little bit of extra effort to make the right decision. Some choices are clear, others not so clear. At age 14 I decided to have the gospel of Jesus Christ be my standard. I've still chosen poorly many times, and still do, but at that decision point I made the right choice. The price was high...everything...but the return on investment...priceless.
