I love it- the stats are interesting and have given a new lease to my running goals- there are some great runners out there.

What do we see in a brand?
Trust?
Known products?
Comfort?
The list goes on!
Today I was at my local Saturday morning fruit market, trapped again by the trust I place in branding. One vendor was selling 5 Mangoes for $5- an absolute bargain! They looked fresh and juicy, but I could not bring myself to buy them. Why? Because they had no branding! No sticker telling me where the came from, they were unknown, mysterious and suspiciously cheap!
As I wandered through the market I came across more mangoes. The second vendor grabbed my attention: "Three mangoes for five dollars! three mangoes five dollars!"
Hmmm, let me have a look! Yes! these mangoes were for me! They we marginally larger then the first mangoes I spotted, more expensive and they were branded!
Yes! I knew where they came from, therefore I was willing to purchase at a premium price!
Clearly... I am a marketers dream!
Today was just an average day...
6am- rise- Work on my mind already.. NO! NO! Meditation is where my focus needs to be! I'm so tired.. exauhsted... Can't meditate.. Oh no!
It's now.. 7am! Time to get ready for work
7:17am I'm on my bike and cruising the streets of Melbourne
7:35am I'm Logged on, researching data packs, sales information for our 8am conference call
It's now..
This evening, I found myself experiencing the full power of physical exercise and its ability to assist me in letting go of all the worries of the day.
Running has always played an important part of my meditation practice.
Flying along the road, pushing hard to the next corner, coming home totally exauhsted!
I love it!
I live it!
I couldn't imagine my life without it!
