Was he SERIOUS?! Your retort about the ring tone answered that well!<br /> <br /> Great content - thanks!!!<br /> <br /> Jim Watson<br /> <a href="http://jlwatsonconsulting.typepad.com/my-blog/">http://jlwatsonconsulting.typepad.com/my-blog/</a>http://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-5600850Tue, 08 Mar 2011 01:55:16 GMThttp://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-3909254Cheri AlguireJohn, <br /> <br /> Congratulations, my friend, on running the half-marathon! Great article. I would love to add your story my sequel to "13 Lessons in 13.1 Miles: How Running a Half-Marathon Can Help You Succeed in Business and in Life." <br /> <br /> Cheri Alguire, Author and Coach<br /> <a href="http://13lessons.com/">http://13lessons.com/</a>http://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-3909254Thu, 04 Nov 2010 23:25:26 GMThttp://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-3865955Tori BrittonJohn, I loved reading this. It was engaging, funny, and inspiring. My favorite part (beyond your getting passed by Elvis) as your reason for running:<br /> <br /> "I initially decided to train for a half marathon . . . a daily constant reminder that my professional and personal journey in life is 'a marathon not a sprint' and for me to treat it as such."<br /> <br /> Awesome. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, in Russian pronounced Tishe yedesh, dal'she budesh -- basically, the slower you go, the further you get. <br /> <br /> Thanks again, Coach.http://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-3865955Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:21:28 GMThttp://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-3827933BarbMost people would have been satisfied to finish a marathon, but you went beyond the distance to reflect on lessons learned. Congratulations, John, on your determination and valuable insights.http://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-3827933Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:42:42 GMThttp://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-3827874Jim BouchardThis is one of the most moving and insightful articles I've read in a long time.<br /> <br /> Sometimes an activity that seems to have nothing to do with one's major course in life is the one that reveals the most profound experiences and lessons.<br /> <br /> Coach Bru is not a professional runner- but his participation in this event was meaningful to him and now through this article- to us.<br /> <br /> Don't sit on the sidelines. Find something to train for an get to work!<br /> <br /> Best thoughts!<br /> Jimhttp://blog.coachbru.com/2010/10/18/131-observations-turned-business-insights-from-the-maine-halfmarathon.aspx#comment-3827874Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:20:46 GMT
