“If you’d like to stay a champion, accept the fact that discomfort is here to stay. Embrace it as a teacher that will strengthen you and help you achieve ever greater feats, not as an annoying part of th`e process that you’d like to put behind as quickly as possible.” -From, “365 Days With Self-Discipline”
Love, Speed & Accuracy,

I Love Steno Trivia Tuesday: The Changing Height Of The Eiffel Tower
QUESTION: How tall is the Eiffel Tower?
ANSWER: The height of the Eiffel Tower changes according to the season. During the summer, the landmark can grow up to six inches taller than its usual height. This is due to the heat of the summer’s sun causing the iron of the structure to swell. According to Wikipedia, the current average height of the Eiffel Tower is 1,063 feet high.

Steno Fitness: Stretching
“The benefits of stretching are enormous. Stretching can increase your strength by 10%. It is a lot. The man explains that ‘when you lift a weight your muscles contract. And after the workout the muscles remain contracted for some time. The following restoration of the muscles’ length is what recovery is. Until the muscle has restored its length, it has not recovered. Hence he who does not stretch his muscles slows down the recuperation process and retards his gains.’ Besides tension and relaxation are two sides of the same coin, ‘if the muscle forgets how to lengthen, it will contract more poorly. And that is stagnation of strength.’” -Pavel Tsatsouline (From, “365 Days With Self-Discipline”)
