The Courage to Start

After reading a great book, "The Courage to Start, The Guide to Running for Your Life" by John "The Penguin" Bingham, I thought everyone should read it. The truth is I have already asked you to start changing your eating habits and add exercise to your already busy lives. So instead I will just throw out a few of his great comments every once in awhile.

This chapter is titled Finding the Time, and it is so appropriate. Here is a paragraph I can't image not including.

'Getting off on the right foot means understanding enough about yourself, your life, and your willingness to commit to this new activity to begin to think about your life as a runner. IT'S ABOUT GIVING YOURSELF PERMISSION TO FIND THE TIME TO BE A RUNNER.'

I realize this book is about running, but I have to tell you, he talks about any activity not just running. John was a middle age husband who decided to make change to running for exercise and improved health. If you have time to read this book, it is a short easy read that is so funny and motivating.

Have a great week.
