batter up

"In playing ball, and in life, a person occasionally gets the opportunity to do something great. When that time comes, only two things matter:  being prepared to seize the moment and having the courage to take your best swing." - Hank Aaron

be bold

"Be bold - and mighty forces will come to your aid."

Excerpt from A Touch of Wonder, by Arthur Gordon...

"Be bold - that was no exhortation to be reckless or foolhardy.  Boldness meant a deliberate decision, from time to time, to bite off more than you were sure you could chew.  And there was nothing vague or mysterious about the mighty forces referred to.  They were the latent powers that all of us possess; energy, skill, sound judgement, creative ideas - yes, even physical strength and endurance in far greater measure than most of us realize."

changing physiology with patience and time

"Many parts of your physiology improve as a result of these longer runs. The under-developed parts of your circulatory system are enhanced; neglected capillary beds are expanded and new ones are created. This increases oxygen transportation and utilization, thereby improving your Steady State. Also through aerobics training, your heart, which is just another muscle, becomes bigger and is able to pump more blood with each contraction and to pump the blood faster. Your lungs become more efficient, with increased pulmonary capillary bed activity, which improves the tone of your blood, allowing you to get more oxygen out of each breath. Blood circulation throughout your body becomes better, waste products are eliminated more easily."  - the Lydiard System
