I've been reading Angela Duckworth's book "Grit." And here's this.
The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is: I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be outworked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me. You might be all of those things. You got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two thing: You're getting off first, or I'm going to die. It's really that simple. (page 46)
I am one of those who goes, "Treadmill?"
So I've been on the cycle for the past three days, four if you count Day 74. Whoopee. But I've been there, for half an hour, plus the five minute cool-down, and now I'm up to 4.6 miles on distance. And I've been doing my yoga and free weights.
