We all know about the most common type of body language, the one between people. The signs we see when things are not working or the sign to make that move. But what about the signs our body uses when trying to tell us to slow down or take it easy. We so often punish our bodies and push them to the limit without even realising the toll it takes.

Leave nothing to doubt
"Leave everything on the road - Leave nothing to doubt" is a phrase that I have come to use in my life. It originated on the tar roads of Durban on my road bike but has crept into all aspects of my life! Here is how it came about ... these are the words I wrote down after a cycling event last year. It was 50 km done on the tandem with my dad.
I know that in the past, in terms of sporting events, I always hold thereby keeping something in reserve just in case. This was probably me being scared of hitting the wall and having to suffer home. Well not this time. This time I left it all out on the road. I look back now and can say that I could not have done any more - I left nothing to doubt today.
The result was that afterwards I could not stand up straight but could stand tall. not because we had won the race on the day but because I know I did everything and gave everything I had that day. I do say that God provided me with not only the physical strength but most importantly the mental focus required to carry on when all I wanted to do was slow down and cruise on home.
A big day indeed. Laid everything down. Left everything on the road. But even with nothing left to doubt - the greatest part of it all was being able to enter.

Heroes come and go - Legends never die!
I first read about this guy in Runners World a few editions ago. An absolute amazing story of a man who came from a normal job to become possibly one of the greatest runners of his time.
That said - the article below highlights his next attempt at breaking records which to me is admirable and I support him all the way!
The problem with the article is actually the people who comment on it below the article! they go into the argument of whether or not he is the best runner whether his sponsors made him who he is! This is an absolute outrage in my books and they even compare him to club runners they know!! Despicable and an insult to Ryan!
Read it for yourself and make your own decision!
