Howdy folks,

Ugh. Last day of my move today, which means that – once again – I’m running around screwing up my back lifting boxes that have far too much crap in them…

…rather than training or writing about training.

Hopefully you’re doing just about anything else.

Like maybe riding your bike a bit.

Given how late I’m getting this up, I doubt that it’s going to be a particularly useful post for ya’all… If you’re going to ride today, odds are you’ve already done so, or you’re in the process of doing so as this goes up.

So, why am I bothering?

Well… because the idea here is that I’m going to get something up every damn day, unless I have a good reason not to.

And suddenly, we’ve stumbled upon a useful metaphor.

If you want to do well in just about anything, one of the keys to success is to make a regular practice of it.

Want to be a good writer?

Write. Every day. Unless you really, really can’t.

Want to be a good musician?

Play. Every day. Unless you really, really can’t.

Want to be a good cyclist?

Ride. Every day. Unless you really, really can’t.

Or, well, unless you need to rest a bit.

Don’t forget that part, OK?

It’s only just a metaphor.
