Boron - Chapter 01

What happens when you do road work is that, after about forty minutes, your brain begins to secrete what some people refer to as "survival chemicals". The names of these chemicals, as far as I know, are beta endorphins and norephinphrine. Some people say these chemicals are 200 times stronger than morphine and, in my opinion, the feeling you get is sort of like a good drug high except that the "high" is not artificial and you become zestful rather than speedy and, unlike a drug high, this is a high that is good for you.

If I seem to be going on and on about this it is because it is so important and it is something you can do right away! And, actually, of everything I have learned about in my entire life, this stuff about doing road work the first thing in the morning is very close to being the most important thing of all.

So I really hope you get started on this morning road work program as soon as you get this letter and I also hope it becomes a habit for all the rest of your life.

I Love You and Good Luck!

Dad

P.S. Please get me a copy of "The Joy of Running" by Theodore Kostrubala.

P.S. You want to do some of your friends a favor? Have them read my book "The Boron Letters"... even if... they are not interested in marketing. Why? Because this book also deals with life... and... they will be able to benefit from these experiences.

Peace.
