You’re a great photographer dude. This is something that most do not realize but making photos like you post to your blog is certainly an art. Congrats on all your accomplishments!

That said they do make drugs that will give you the same high as the endorphins without half the effort.

See you in Vegas! (your not jogging out here like Forest Gump are you?)

However, I think that this concept extends beyond physical activity. I am sure you have goals at work or home, I wonder if there is a measurable way to give that extra 10% in other activities.

Goals are interesting and important things. So many companies I’ve worked with take the approach of setting easily achievable and therefore uninspiring goals. The thinking is that this is the safe thing to do in order to ensure that nobody is disappointed or discouraged. In my experience these types of goals always result in the worst kind of failure – an apathetic, overly cautious and often demoralized team. People like big goals. People want to be challenged and they desperately want that great feeling of accomplishment that comes with doing something you didn’t think you could.
