...And sometimes we just play ping pong in November.
Have you ever trained for a marathon? How long does it take? How long do they have to maintain the focus and motivation required to pull it off? Because it seems like my focus fades sometime in October every year. Not that farming is exactly like training for a marathon, but it is a bit similar, if not quite as cardiovascular. We begin in December with intense planning and in January, we set off on the journey of implementing that plan. By the early March, we’re full throttle and fully immersed in the plan. After that we barely look up to see where we are in the plan. Breathing hard, we just put one foot in front of the other. Until sometime in late October when our focus blurs.
