X: Less Thinking, More Speedwork

As we blasted past two fit and attractive (for their age) blonde women who could have been sisters on the trail today, one of them was overheard by Marco, the straggler in our pack, to say, "Just when I thought we were going fast, those guys blow by us. ... But I don't think they are going long today." Excuse me ladies, but we were going long--if you consider 24 long, that is. Maybe you two should do less thinking and more speedwork. To me it's not even worth getting out of bed at daybreak on a Sunday if we're not going to drop at least 18 into the bank. Tony Robbins has taught me to ask myself, "How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?" If I see them again, maybe I will offer to loan those sisters a copy of my Robbins book-on-tape. It couldn't hurt. - Racer X
