I laughed out loud at that one. But mostly because I think those that run see it the other way around.

I think everyone chuckled at it.

Not a running t-shirt but still funny, well I guess it could be a running shirt...

I saw this in another thread and it's my new favorite motivator:


I do today what you won't, so tomorrow I do what you can't.

I'm proposing my Master's tomorrow in front of four Ph.D.s who have all basically been doing research longer than I've been alive. They are smart and intimidating in their intelligence. However, with you, getting the right answer was easy :) I'm just contrasting my running life with my academic life. Much easier to succeed in running!!

Ahhh, I got you now--you need to be comparing the two, not contrasting! Positive vibes equals positive results. You'll do great :)

Thanks! Academics are actually a lot like running. A lot of preparation and hard work. When you get to the start line, there are a lot of nerves about whether you did all that you could to prepare, but the finish line makes all the hard work worth it :)
