Have you ever heard the phrase, "Good is the enemy of great"?

How does it apply to our running, especially running over the age of 40? What about to our overall health and nutrition. Even sleep- what about good sleep vs GREAT sleep?

The concept of "good being the enemy of great" suggests that settling for "good enough" can prevent individuals or organizations from achieving greatness. 

Are you satisfied with the status quo or complacent with your current level of running? If so, why is that a negative? Did you know that feeling GOOD can limit your potential and hinder your progress?

Embracing a mindset of greatness involves setting high standards and pursuing excellence, even when it means taking risks and facing the possibility of failure. 

Finding a balance between the pursuit of greatness and self-care is also important to ensure mental and physical well-being. 

Overall, the idea of "good being the enemy of great" emphasizes the importance of pushing beyond the limits of what is considered "good enough" and striving for excellence in all areas of life INCLUDING running.
