Sprint the Hills

I saw an interesting article about the Kenyans and why they dominate long distance running.  One of the techniques that use in training is to sprint up the hills.  When asked why they sprint the hills, their reply was that it is an "Opportunity" that they would not even imaging missing.

Often in our lives we see daunting challenges that seem too big to tackle.  I love this unique way of seeing an impediment and rushing into the storm rather than avoiding or trying to detour away from it.  It has served the Kenyans well, and can be a good technique for dealing with some of our tough problems as well.

So, the next time you get to a big hill, instead of slowing down, try seizing the opportunity and Sprint The Hill.  It might make the obstacle go by faster and give you a more rewarding outcome.
