II. New Year, New You

It is the end of January and the snow and cold has prevented a lot of us from getting outside and running like we had hoped. We have been forced to adapt and maybe make some compromises. I don’t know about you but there is only some much you can do on the treadmill or inside on the small gym track. I like to get out and be in the fresh air. It has been hard to keep to our fitness goals and accomplish what we had hoped. It might be time to rethink or rededicate ourselves to those goals.

Runners World has a series of links about setting goals and making changes to our work outs. So if you have some time look at New Year, New You …

I have attached info about a run and an auction to benefit the Rylan Newman Benefit Fund.


IV. Food For Thought

A man … had a small bull-terrier that could whip all the dogs of the neighborhood. The owner of a large dog which the terrier had whipped asked the owner of the terrier how it happened that the terrier whipped every dog he encountered. “That,’ said the owner of the terrier, “is no mystery to me; your dog and other dogs get half through a fight before they are ready; now, my dog is always mad!”

- A favorite anecdote showing his followers how they should have a sense of urgency and enthusiasm toward attainment of their goals.
- Take from Lincoln on Leadership: Executive Strategies for Tough Times by Donald T. Phillips.

Go after those goal!!!
