Literally overnight, it became conventional wisdom that the tougher team won Super Bowl XLVIII, not necessarily the
more fit, the more talented, or the better coached.
It reminds me of the one good thing about the worst streak of bad
weather that I've seen in six years of coaching running clinics during the winter -- and that is, Mother
Nature’s meanness provides an unmistakable barometer of toughness. Just keep running when you’re scheduled to
run, regardless of cold, ice, snow and wind, and you know how tough you are. It’s
beyond discussion or dispute. And interestingly, the
members who keep showing up for the group runs at my Running Room clinics these days are mostly women – often petite
to the point of seeming frailness and sometimes young enough to be my grandchildren. Why am I not surprised
that the next mayor of Toronto and the next president of the US will probably
be women?
