Have you ever clicked a link to a YouTube video and after watching the video clicked on one of the recommended videos? After watching that video you click on another recommended video. Before long you will be watching a video that is nowhere near the same as the first video you watched.
That is how my thought process works. My mind is like YouTube.
Yesterday I was out for a run and I started thinking about the Disney Marathon which I will be running in January. That thought led to making a shirt to tell people I am running 26.2 miles in Disney World. I am vain like that. That thought led to the idea of selling T-shirts to help pay for my flight down there, which led to the thought of donating a majority of the money raised to a favorite charity. I am vain, not selfish. Those thoughts led to the idea of making running inspired T-shirts. Not an original idea, but a popular one. That thought quickly grew into an idea for a T-shirt empire.
A thought process like that could go on forever.
I think that many people have a similar thought process. Especially when it comes to the creative process. One idea starts as a seed and before you know it you have a forest that needs to be trimmed back and groomed to get a nice looking property to live on. Or sell.
Speaking of running… Check out the run report for the Run For Your Lives Zombie 5K I did this weekend.

I hate the treadmill.
HATE it.
This weekend, for the first time in quite a while, I was able to go for a run outside. Even in 90* heat a run outside feels better than a run on the treadmill.
I especially love running early in the morning. When the world is just waking up and most people are still sound asleep. It is renewing and refreshing. If you allow yourself to take it all in and just be in the run, the early morning is the best time to run.
It is hard for me to run outside. I have two kids too young to stay at home alone, and if I do not have anyone to watch them, then I can not run outside.
I am stuck on the treadmill. At least for now.
