HOW AND WHY PUTTING IN THE EXTRA MILES WORKS

HOW AND WHY PUTTING IN THE EXTRA MILES WORKS

IT'S INTERVAL DAY.  I'll be alone for these.  I always am.  No one will see me out there, which is why it's so easy to dawg it, even skip the last few.  Instead...

... I am pushing beyond what my body wants to do.

Uncomfortable.

What happens when we do this?

Because, as the great Dylan Johnson recently posted on his YouTube...

... these efforts build durability.

Durability, he claims, and I agree, is a key ingredient and possibly the most important metric and indicator for predicting success.

But, nobody sees these durability building efforts,
we get no credit.

Until we're there,
at the finish,
steady...

... strong.

Going the extra miles in our...

  • training
  • careers
  • relationships

... makes all the difference.

Today, we completed our 37th year together...

  • now we are 11
