"Success is measured by how much I fulfill the talent I was born with"
Charlie Spedding
Today's quote is from Charlie Spedding's Book From Last to First. I highly recommend this book as it is not only a great read about how he got to be one of best marathoners of his time and once held the British marathon record, but also has great insights on just how much the way one thinks affects ones performance. What I also found great about this book is that it recounted many races I remember watching so that was an added bonus for me.
