I forget where I first learned about those three aspects of setting goals, but it definitely stuck with me as a good lesson.<br /><br />Hank - Yes, the parallels of running and writing - a seemingly bottomless well of things to contemplate for me. Good to know I'm not the only one.<br /><br />Also, I know what you mean about your own favorite pieces not necessarily being others' favorites. (See last lesson above, about writing for the love of it.) Thanks for the link on the post though. I'd definitely like to check it out!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-70333811784470762032010-12-07T09:54:51.403-08:002010-12-07T09:54:51.403-08:00Great piece.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about the parallels between running and writing, and you've eclipsed all of them. <br /><br />I wrote a post last year after Wasatch titled "100 Miles with James Joyce," one of my favorite but, of course, least popular posts (which always seems to be the case). I don't like to crosslink, but in case there's interest in reading it: http://runjunkie.blogspot.com/2009/09/100-miles-with-james-joyce-my-foos-wont.html<br /><br />Cheers.Hank Darthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168709676047000763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-80815040067722501272010-12-07T07:04:15.850-08:002010-12-07T07:04:15.850-08:00Nice.

The parts about goals being specific, attainable, and measurable are right on, and point to a larger body of thought about strategic planning and goal-setting in a leadership context. It's always interesting when lessons from one aspect of life can be applied to others.XTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01231507073800286660noreply@blogger.com
