I am 3 weeks away from my official start of training for the Capital City Half Marathon so essentially I am "Training for Training" It is very easy at this point to not give my workouts 100% of my effort, after all training hasn't really started so I can get by with 80% right? What if 80% was the acceptable standard?
-Your phone would be out of order for almost 5 hours every day
-4 million people a year would receive the wrong medication because their prescription was
filled incorrectly
filled incorrectly
-700,000 newborn babies would be dropped during delivery by their doctor each year
-The U.S. Postal Service would lose 34 million pieces of mail every day
-Your home would be without electricity for 144 hours every month
-Each year your drinking water would be unfit for human consumption for 73 days
Ok let's bump it up from 80% to 99.99%
-12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents every day
- 291 pacemaker operations will be performed incorrectly
-2.5 million books will be sent with the wrong covers
-114,500 mismatched pairs of shoes will be sent out per year
-315 entries in Webster’s dictionary will be misspelled
-5.5 million cases of soft drinks will be produced flat each year
-2 airplanes departing from O’Hare airport will be unsafe each day
I do not accept less than 100% from others in most circumstances, however I have no trouble cutting myself some slack! My goal is to push myself during this training as well as all aspects of life to give 100%
Wow, way to put it into perspective! Thanks for the kick in the pants today to give it 100%! :)
