lesson learned
i remember making a remark years ago to a co-worker in the locker room about how i was bored with running the same basic route during lunch. mind you, having a locker room at work and the time to exercise at lunch is a perk that few get to take advantage of.
diplomatically, he simply said “your legs don’t know the difference” and left it at that. these days i’d likely get a response more like “STFU” and/or “HTFU” which would deliver the same basic message. how you set your mind determines how you will accomplish the task in front of you.
along the same lines, while aimlessly flipping through television channels i recently stumbled onto “Shackleton’s Frozen Hell” on the Smithsonian Channel. not that i’m one to complain about the weather but after being reminded of the extremes that these men faced, i’ll simply keep quiet about our slightly colder than normal winter.
