I started running again. (Please don’t inform me of the over / under on how many days until I quit.) Anyhow, I decided to combine my love for books with my need to exercise in an effort to make the most of each run. I have loaded up some audio books onto my ipod, and now can run and learn at the same time. I hope that my thirst for knowledge will help to offset my love for sleep – and subsequent reluctance to drag my butt out of bed, lace up my asics, and get after it.
This week, while pounding the pavement at the crack of dawn, I am listening to the audio version of one of my favorite books – Tribes by Seth Godin. A quote from that book stuck with me all day today. “Managers make widgets, Leaders make change.” I love it. I am working on becoming an effective leader. Just like running… it is not easy work, but I know I am better off for doing it. You?
