Life Lessons That Running Teaches You!

  1. It’s all mental. Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re absolutely correct!  Only you can determine what you are capable of.   2. Consistency is key. Consistency creates habit and as for anything in life you really want, you must not give up pursuing it.   3. Anything worth winning is worth working hard for.   If you’re a gamer then you’ll know that just like Assassin’s Creed or Far Cry, the toughest time comes right before a big reward or achievement.

Our brain gets so excited at these images that our appetite increases and it’s almost as if you can already taste that new double-stacked, grilled, BBQ burger and actually feel the sauce drip down the side of your lips. After one of those Popeye’s ‘Wicked Chicken’ commercials, my stomach literally growls and I can imagine yanking a strip o...
