Marathons, Ulramarathons, Life and the Practice of Law

The sum of my knowledge on Marathons, Ultramarathons, and perhaps this applies to life and the practice of law too:

 

1. Train, Train, Train—Practice, Practice, Practice-work hard and love the process.
1. Eat well, drink less alcohol, sleep well, and get up early.
2. Get started. Just get started—You will find your flow and help along the way from family, friends, fellow runners and total strangers. Say thanks and help others along the way.
3. Keep going. In the words of Churchill: “Just keep buggering on”. Persistence, perseverance, relentless forward progress-you will stun yourself with what you are actually capable of.
4. Smile and hug someone at the finish line. Be grateful. Drink a beer. Celebrate.
5. It doesn’t matter where you finish (or sometimes if you finish)-as long as you can look yourself in the eye and know you did your best.
6. Repeat 1-5.
