Comparison comes very easily to us and it can rob us of joy.  When we are experiencing satisfaction in our life, why does it matter what level of satisfaction our neighbor is experiencing.  Even further, shouldn’t their greater satisfaction just inspire us to greater heights? Why does comparison tend to deflate us?

Highlights of the Episode:

The roots and nature of comparison. 3:35

When comparison becomes habitual and unintentional. 6:00

The dangers of comparing your success to others' success. 34:25

Learning to accept the fact that your success is inevitable. 36:55

The benefits of trusting the process and being open with the results. 51:40

Change is difficult because it removes the stability and comfort of our current situation.  It pushes us into a place of uncertainty which we naturally resist. It also requires us to look at ourselves at our current situation and habits from a whole new perspective.  We cannot learn anything radically new, until we forget what we already know.

Last weekend Kevin ran a marathon almost exactly 2 years after his third seizure back in 2017.  There was concern about whether running this far and this hard was simply too much for him. It has been a long journey back focused on overall physical and mental health.  This journey is far from over, but last weekend was a major step along the way. It was a race that was a victory lap.

Part two of the year end recap transitions from the lessons we learned during 2019 into the goals we are creating for 2020.  The last lesson we are going to discuss is the challenge of learning your effort levels. Leaping from lessons to goals is a flip that we all need to work on to continue growing and moving forward with joy and satisfaction in our lives. 

Today we talk about: 

• How defining effort levels can lead to massive gains in our running
• 2019 year in review - how to analyze and think about your year to set you up for success in 2020
• 2020 goal setting 
• Our own personal goals for 2020
• Goals from the members of our Tribe
• And much more!

We share some of our personal insights about our running and help you to apply it to your running life as well.  Stay tuned!

It’s getting close to the end of the year, which means it’s time to look back and see what we can learn from the past year.  Problems, challenges, and obstacles were all there to teach lessons, and if we do not take the time to figure out what the lesson was, we will be spending 2020 reliving the same old problems in shiny new packaging. 

Today we talk about: 

• The mental side of running and how that affects our training and racing
• The benefits of having a training plan
• The benefits of not having a training plan
• The one thing that makes the most difference, whether you do or do not follow a training plan
• And much more!

We share some of our personal insights about our running and help you to apply it to your running life as well.  Stay tuned!

No one likes being hurt.  You lose your running routine.  You can lose some fitness if you are out for too long.  What about the smaller aches and pains? Reminders that you ran that day.  A twinge as you run down the street. Soreness when you wake up or try to fall asleep.  Does running need to be so painful? How can runners look so powerful while running and so feeble and awkward afterwards?

Goals are great.  Plans are useful. What about when you carefully choose a goal and follow a plan and just seem to keep missing?  The important ingredient missing from a standard training plan is to continue building and fostering belief. Without belief in the possibility of the result, you will never commit to the work needed to achieve the result.  Are you doing something to sabotage your own success?

Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family and think about the things that we are grateful for.  It is a wonderful time to reflect and just be. Yes, there can be a lot to do, especially if you are hosting, but it’s also a time to sit back and relax and just enjoy.  How many times do we just do that in our lives? How many times do we say thank you for our bodies? For running? For what we are able to do? Or are we critical of ourselves and focus more on what we aren’t capable of?  How someone else is better than us? How we wish we were faster, had a different body, or were farther along in our journey than we are right now? Well, my friend, we are exactly where we are meant to be.
