Lost!

I am trying to run further and further and have set myself a 10K goal. When I have reached this I am going to aim for 10 miles!

It’s sad to say this but I have to keep changing my route as I run alone. Even thought I have a great 6.5K route on Saturdays, I knew I needed to find a new one.

Luckily I live on the doorstep of the Hertfordshire countryside. My childhood was filled with days bike riding with friends in the gorgeous countryside. I was very happy.

On Saturday I was trying to think of a new route before leaving (I like to tell my fiancé where I am going just in case) I decided on a route that I used to bike ride through, past bomb shelters and runways from WW2.

What happened? Halfway through the run it looked different from what I remembered – paint balling! Fishing lakes! And private roads!

I carried on, jumped over a gate that said trespassers will be prosecuted and continued – and within 5 minutes I was lost.

I found my way back eventually, after walking through fields and ending up with a rash on my neck which is still there as I write!

The reason for this post is that it relates to your business – you have a vision and a goal, you can picture the outcome but then it all goes wrong.

This happens in business too – we lose our way. But that’s what individuals such as myself are for; to put you back on the right track!

I know if I went running with my personal trainer I wouldn’t have got lost, so who’s your and your team’s trainer?
