Too many folks go after someone else's dream and not their own first place dream. When we go after our first place dreams we find that we are equipped to do so. Not so when it's not a big game.

I decided yesterday to run a half marathon tomorrow -- this one is on trails with killer hills. Please send out the alarm if I don't blog by Monday. [Beth, As an ex-sprinter type my half marathon target is 5K and my full marathon goal is 5 miles (I like the number 5). From that perch anyone who runs double miles must have super human powers. Good luck! Mark] Let’s hope my “bionic legs” hold out tomorrow. I decided yesterday to run a half marathon tomorrow — this one is on trails with killer hills.

I really suck at planning. I just jump, then panic, then figure things out. I'm really good at jumping. [Beth, Well, perhaps you're gonna outsource that planning one day?! Meanwhile, you have sound character traits to carry you forward and bionic legs to keep on hopping! ;-) Actually, I recall an exercise I used to do as a hurdler was to put the hurdles about 4 feet apart and then walk under them! Great for developing mobility and elastic strength. Ditto life? Mark] I followed all the rules except the one about the planning. I really suck at planning.

Have you ever thought of putting your ideas in Book Form? [Hi Bill, Thanks for asking, yes I have! A book's in the future but not as a specific goal with an end-date yet. Probably somewhere between a 'dumb' goal and an OG goal (you've taken the course so I giess you know what I mean.) Right now, the fun and creative struggle is in this blog plus article writing. Sometimes I cringe looking back on the structure and style of what I have posted here but the important thing is to keep going. I'm sure I'll improve with time - says every writer! How about your writing plans? I've had a look at your blog and encourage you to keep going. Mark] I think you nailed it with your steps regarding Career Change.
