Reading

So, I just finished reading "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. A fun perspective on success. For you athletes, the "10,000 hour" section is really interesting. Basically to be really successful at anything (athletics, music, programming, etc) you need to have 10,000 hours of 'practice' under your belt. Gladwell states it in a much more interesting manner, though. Worth a read by anyone that wants to be great.

Up next, I'm gonna finish the classic "Monkey Wrench Gang" and also start on "The Science of Winning" as soon as it arrives from jolly ole England! I'm sure there's another something I'm reading too.

Training is going well. Just plugging away for the spring...
