Nothing ensures a runner a personal best like a 100 lb Doberman tethered to your waist, a brisk fall morning, and racing a storm.
4.2 mile loop–closing in on sub-30 min!
Looking for a good, online runner’s training log. Any suggestions?
I have spent this week out in California with a new client and have been introduced to runner the foothills of Mission Viejo. Running my nice flat miles in Michigan is nothing compare to two-three mile steady ascents! I can now see the utility Brad Feld finds in his Garmin Forerunner.
This grueling week of running and working with my client, a “new market” mortgage start-up, got me thinking about what makes winners in business. I use this analogy:
Market winners are good climbers. If you look at endurance sport champions you see “good climbers,” runners and cyclist (i.e., Lance Armstrong) that know how to get very efficient and maintain form throughout sustained ascents. This translates into gain ground on leaders or extending distance on followers in the race.
Business is no different. If you know how to quickly get more efficient and maintain form (customer experience) in harder markets you will gain market share. This is what Kaleidico is doing for our clients showing them how to get more efficient in starting-up or expanding their business into Internet channels, while maintaining their form.
The emerging opportunity in maintaining form in this emerging mortgage market is getting the mortgage Internet experience closer to the Internet experience customers are accustomed to in this channel, the Amazon, PayPal, EBay experiences that deliver point-of-sale satisfaction.
Well the bug has bitten. In a quest to loose my pregnancy weight–come on guys it happen to all of us (Rebecca is now 13 weeks worth of shear joy) — I have recalled the euphoria of running. Almost 17 years ago I called myself a distance runner (nothing more than 10K). I am committing to starting my training for my first ever marathon. I think my debut will be at the Chicago Marathon (mild weather, flat course, and not to far away). Any good advice? I have comments off—frustration with comment spam got the best of me, but emails and trackbacks would be great!
drwright, and
This stimulates a lot of thought on how you can get that up and running in other markets./
