It's been a long time coming, but I've finally gotten my schedule to the point where I've been able to get in some early morning runs. The weekend runs are good, but they can only help you maintain some conditioning not build any.
In any case, I've been doing a lot of running starting at 5AM and I have been amazed at the number of homes that I see with lights on at that time. Even more startling is the number of folks leaving for work between 5 and 6AM. Of course, this is the greater Los Angeles area so it can take a long time to get to some places. But still, that's getting a pretty good jump on the day.
As I run along, seeing traffic pass by, I'm wondering how many of these people are leaving their homes at 5 or 6 in the morning, arriving at work at 6 or 7AM and aren't leaving until 5? There's really no way to know. But, if there was a way to find out, well, I wish they'd send me their resume. It is getting harder and harder to find folks who will consistently put in more than the minimum effort.
Show me more than the minimums, come in and do what it takes to get the job done and you'll do well in my book. I'm just looking for some hard-working people.
