Quote of the Week

I picked up the January issue of Outside Magazine and was blown away to read about a 44 year old guy that runs... I mean he runs A LOT.

His name is Dean Karnazes and he runs 20 to 25 miles a day - before breakfast! He's labeled an "ultrarunner" and last year he ran 50 marathons. No big deal? He ran each of them in a different state and did it in 50 days. How did he top that accomplishment? He decided he'd run home - from New York - he lives in Northern California.

Here's the quote of the week from Dean that I thought was great for each of us pushing for success in the sales field:

"Unless you're pushing yourself, you're not living to the fullest. You can't be afraid to fail, but unless you fail, you haven't pushed hard enough. If you look at successful people and happy people, they fail a lot, because they're constantly trying to go further and expand."

Dean Karnazes (AKA Forrest Gump)

Interesting insight. So... are you pushing yourself?

PS - Maybe there's something to running 25 miles everyday before breakfast because this guy looks more like he's 24 instead of 44. I do 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer a few times a week...










I think I'll crank things up.
