Bureaucrat vs Runner

Been doing a lot of thinking about goals, audacity and channeling your inner daredevil.

Lately I worry that professionally I am thinking like a bureaucrat. Not sure why, but I come out of meetings feeling like maybe my reactions to audacious ideas have been rather conservative.

And then I go and add another mile to my longest run ever each week.

Here's a crazy thought: what if I were to approach each week in my work as I do in my training, pushing one mile further, assessing the goal, without fear and full of passion.

Ok, with some fear but with do or die (not literally) determination to accomplish it.

Wonder what would happen if I just "ran with it" at work.

Training report: Hill Training wasn't bad last night, I'm sore today  but ok. Been taking magnesium supplements on the advice of my acupuncturist and it seems to be helping with the aches. Looking forward to my run with Steph tomorrow morning and then my long TNT run on Saturday via SummerStreets.
