LESSONS FROM MARATHON TRAINING

I've been obsessed with long distance running lately, but still not doing enough of it. So to add to my inspirations, I just watched a TED talk on a business class that requires you to train and run a marathon to pass the course. Andrew Johnston distills the lessons into one essential quote: "It's not about doing the OCCASIONAL BIG things, it's about doing the CONSISTENT SMALL things."
This is where I get derailed, and living two lives isn't helping. But the one big day doesn't make up for all the other days I didn't do something. So I am inspired not only to run less distance but more often, but also to try everyday to do the things I need to do, for myself, to be healthy, and for my daughter, so that when I miss a day or two, it's an aberration and not a norm.
