Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

The Accidental Athlete

     I just finished John "The Penguin" Bingham's newest book:  The Accidental Athlete.  It is autobiographical. There were a couple of quotes that I found inspirational and want to share with you.

"This is a self-guided tour through one life, my life, and I hope that you will see yourself somewhere in my struggle to become an athlete."

"You are your best training partner, your best coach, your harshest critic, and your biggest fan.  You are both the player and the cheerleader in your life."

"The late George Sheehan wrote that we are all an experiment of one.  That's true.  But we are also an experiment of one within a community of thousands of experiments."

"Your body is a marvelous machine and you are your own mechanic."
