Forrest Gump Today I was reminded of Forrest Gump, because “I just felt like running”.

A 17 – 19 km session was recommended in my plan, and so I went out for a run over lunch.

Running is not only a passion for me. It’s also a huge source for me to get inspiration for my work as a leadership trainer, coach, speaker and author.

When I am running, I am NOT connected to the internet, I do not receive phone calls or emails. And that’s like heaven. It helps me to be focused and be creative.

Today I came up with two good ideas for a speech at the ITWeb GRC (Governance, Risk, Compliance) conference I am giving in March 2014.

And with an idea for one of my internet businesses.

While at the same time, I ran my easy 19 km session. Tomorrow I have a 35 km run to complete in preparation for Red Hill Marathon in 8 days.

Distance 19.1 km / 11.8 mi
Time 1h 53 min
Total distance in 2014 110.3 km / 68.5 mi
