It all starts with a 3-legged dog.
As a way to torture me during childhood I was forced to join my dad on 5 mile runs through the woods. I always dreaded these days because I hated running. Frankly, I never understood the point of suffering for an hour. I used to wonder who would be crazy enough to actually enjoy exercise.
Well, it’s time for another edition of Steve’s Sunday Selections. As always, there are a number of excellent posts that I’ve reviewed today. So it’s pretty hard to pick which ones to include. With that said, here are some of my personal favorites…
Here’s an interesting story from this past weekend…
Here’s a quick warning…If for some reason we find ourselves in the same gym working out and you see me on a treadmill, don’t get on the one next to me. If you do, you’ll probably be covered in my sweat after about 10 minutes.
Yes, I know it’s disgusting. Seriously, I sweat like a maniac when exercising—especially when I’m running.

Over a week ago I described my professional goals for 2010. In this post I discussed how I was going to spend the majority of the year focusing on “communications.” Specifically I want to improve my writing, speaking, and technology skills.
But goal setting isn’t just about professional growth. I also think it’s important to create challenges that’ll help me grow as a man. This is part of my ‘work hard, play hard’ mantra. So while I’m focusing on my communication skills, I also want to set aside time to work on my personal growth.
