"The great advantage of our sport over all others is that we don't need a ball or a team or a field, or even, according to some, shoes. We just need to stand someplace, imagine ourselves in the center of a circle, pick one out of the 360 degrees available to us, and head thataway. "
Peter Sagal, a 3:20 marathoner and the host of NPR's Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!
I was compelled to writer something / anything, and this is what came out:
I am very excited to goto the doctor today. I get to have someone that is qualified and professional guide me to the most effective recovery. My relationships with doctors have been very spotty over the years, except my Dentist, but I go into every encounter with optimism and pure respect.
Most of us are professionals in one way or another, and respecting and accepting those in other professions other than are own is very important.
Some time today, give your IT Guy an "ata boy," he needs it. Thank them for keeping email running or recovering your lost file or just walking by your desk, make them smile. This weekend if you get pulled over for speeding, embrace the job the law enforcement officer is doing and give him or her the respcet that you would give your Dr., your boss, your co-worker. They are doing their job, the same as you do every day.
On a side note, if you get a chance to run, drop me a note, I'd love to hear about your route, your breathing, your nutrition.
