| Heeding a call to outsource
Why would you invite unnecessary stress into your life when you could be doing what you love? And earning a living while you're at it! My aha moment came during a recent business seminar when I heard Deborah Schilling, a Realtor in Marstons Mills, warn against the dangers of trying to do everything oneself. It was only after investing hours of time trying, unsuccessfully, to launch a blog for her business that Schilling saw the light. "This is crazy," she thought. "I'm spending hours trying to micromanage details, instead of finding someone else to do it." No matter that Schilling was reasonably proficient at tasks like managing her Web site, it was time to hire a virtual assistant. "The fine points of getting blogs up and running, managing Web sites, updating content can be done so efficiently if you have the proper person," she pointed out to me.

John McDade called for runners and walkers to join the event.

Runners will also need days of rest to regain energy and prevent injury, and need only a light run the day before the race. "Physical Benefits of Running" describes the biological results from running as a sport. According to the page, running works wonders as a "weight loss regimen." However, the page also advises newcomers to running to initially practice short running regimens and work up to longer, more demanding runs. SportsandRunning.com concludes that increased cardiovascular health is a great physiological benefit of running.
