Leaving Dark Tower parking lot, head south on West street, turn right on Naperville-Plainfield Road and run north to the dead end at Oswego Road. Then turn right and run back to West. Continue back to Dark Tower parking lot. The loop mirrors our Naperville Turkey Trot 5k race and should run pretty close to that distance(it was actually 3.25 miles).
For those that return to DT before 5:55 AM, run the DT loop around the hill until the 6 comes in.
Circle of Trust
After an experience at work with a colleague yesterday, I was reminded of this short story entitled ‘A Wise Man’s Joke’:
A wise man once faced a group of people who were complaining about the same issues over and over again. One day, instead of listening to the complaints, he told them a joke and everyone cracked up laughing.
Then, the man repeated the joke. A few people smiled.
Finally, the man repeated the joke a third time–but no one reacted.
The man smiled and said, “You won’t laugh at the same joke more than once. So what are you getting from continuing to complain about the same problem?”
The Moral:
You’re not going to get anywhere if you keep complaining about the same problem but do nothing to fix it.
Don’t waste your time complaining, expecting other people to continue to react to your complaints. Instead, take action to make a change.
Be the change that you wish to see.
Naked Man Moleskin
We had a solid crew at DT Run Club this morning. Kudos to everyone for completing the 5k(or actually 3.25 miles) in time. Coffeeteria was on fire as usual. Look forward to seeing these HIM’s soon.
