I almost jogged a full mile uninterupted at the track!  Either way, I completed 
about 75-80% by jogging, and limited the walking steps.  It was good.  My feet 
became flippers suctioned to the pavement, and I could smile!  I've been noticing 
that whenever I let my body know it needs to do whatever level I push it to, it 
responds the next day by being that ready plus about 25%.  That's a pretty nice 
response.  How many bodies can you get to respond to you 50% of the time?  
...100%?  Know any 110%s?  Now, the 125%.  And it's *you*.  What a gift!

Yesterday I sent off two e-mails to people I don't know.  One was the group of 
(http://www.rickythesoundguy.com/reps.txt) Tennessee representatives, and the 
second the (http://www.rickythesoundguy.com/wholefoods.txt) Whole Foods grocery 
store either in general or specifically in Franklin.  It seems to go to a general 
call center, but when it comes back it's always from the Franklin store itself.
I changed my method of general purpose e-mails to strangers: treat them as if 
speaking directly to God.  Be kind, friendly, a pleasure.  Be somehow, anyhow, 
an experience of joy, a burst of love, a carebear stare - - and the e-mail is 
more likely to be responded to.  Not because the receivers intentionally do not 
respond non-joyful e-mails, but, because non-joyfulness by its very nature is 
just harder to respond to.  Its too dull.  If you want someone to toss the ball 
back, you have to toss it out.  Just standing from where you are shouting isn't 
giving them anything to do back, and the stronger they are, the less likely they 
will respond at all.  There's just no place for non-joyfulness in their lives.
This, to me, is to imagine God as God would be - the living embodiment of joy, 
love.  Because the person is a vessel of God, he or she is nearly impossible to 
bring down.  Since yelling, meanness, blame, treating someone in any way other 
than worthy of your highest character, all happen at that slow, sludgy, yucky 
wavelength of walking through tar, while the lightfooted of God can't even see 
you as they go leaping past.  You're just too dim all smudged in grudge.  So, 
radiate love!

To try it, just suddenly in your thoughts decide that the other person is God.  
God is everything you dream of.  Fall in love with God.  Then, mirror your 
vision, become what you see.

Working on the signs.  Itoo out.
