My My My .. There Is A New Guy At The Track!

And let me tell you .. he's a looker ..  and he was also a really nice person!

I run at Saguaro High School track early in the mornings.  I have for years. These folks are consistently at the track with me: 

• Pete - 60s - trying to lose another 40 pounds (yay Pete!);
• Ken and Vicki - late 50s - trying to lose weight too;
• Marilyn late 60s - working on her blood pressure and arthritis; and
• Joe, who has Alzheimer's, with his wife Lois - both in their 80s.

We've had a great time over the years, feel pretty good about ourselves and enjoy our "track group"!

Today, same story.  Only at about 5:30am here HE comes. The new guy - you've seen him before:

• Clearly - he works out a lot - and then some more
• Nothing giggles when he runs - you can tell because he runs without a shirt on
• Perfect hair, classic, tight running shorts - barely breaking a sweat to ruin it
• He wasn't gasping for air as he ran his 6 minute miles
• He was a looker and really, he was just too nice to believe

So, the men all stood up straighter, walked a little faster and smiled a little more.  The women, we just smiled and reflected back to our younger years as we wondered, "Who is he?  "Wonder if he has a girlfriend?" (You know they have daughters!)

Once he left, I thought about that "My My My" factor. 

And its not just about the way someone looks - but rather the overall way someone carries themselves. 

What kind of impression do you leave on people?  Do you look beyond appearances, refrain from making judgments or being jealous of someone's looks or successes? Do you encouraging and help people to be their best? Do you make sure that you are "yourself" instead of trying to be someone you aren't?

The new track guy - he made a very good first impression and then we got to know him a little. He was nice and helpful - and it was genuine: he taught me a trick to run a little faster; he "let" Ken beat him on a mile time; and he helped Lois to her car.

New track guy sparked me to check my "My My My" factor - and pass it on! So check yours - if it needs a little polish - do it!  Make someone smile, help someone, encourage someone - just plain be nice and leave that lasting impression that makes someone want to get to know you and who you are!
