On Going Cold Turkey
I'm the type of person that goes cold turkey. If I need to change my life I do it drastically and give myself no room for error. This is how I started out as a runner: I didn't begin with a casual jog once or twice a week and slowly build up to serious running. I started off running nearly 5 days a week and kept at it. I knew that if I gave myself more than a few days off I'd start making frequent compromises and I'd end up quitting.
