THE SUCCESS CYCLE: The reason why All Things are Possible!

When confronted with Adversity we must Adapt, and sometimes fail, to Achieve success
- Jason Romero

The following is an excerpt from a Keynote Address that I recently gave to an organization.  After careful analyzation of my life, successes & failures, my blindness & my run across America, I have developed a theory of how we can succeed, in all things we set out to do.  This concept is incorporated into my talks, will be the subject of a chapter in a book I am authoring, and I believe is a universal truth.  Please share it freely, and I hope it can help you to succeed in life.  (click the image to view the video blog in YouTube).

TREADMILL TRAINING for Visually Impaired Runners

So my first piece of advice would be, “get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air…..you will definitely feel better than running indoors.”   That being said, the fact is that weather can interfere with outdoor running and make it very uncomfortable, if the runner does not have the proper apparel.   Also, it can be difficult for a visually impaired runner to be outdoors….for the VI runner who requires a guide to run outdoors, there can be conflicts with the guides schedule.   Guides cannot just drop what they are doing and support a VI runner’s guiding needs when the VI runner wants to run….this can be a barrier for outdoor running.   Finally, there are hazards out there for the VI runner.   Imagine going outside, closing your eyes and running.   Hazards become pretty apparent – curbs, street sighs, fire hydrants, dog leashes, benches, snow piles, etc.   Pretty much anything can be a hazard, and depending on how much sight the VI runner has the degree of hazard can vary.   Not to be le

Another book?

  You should write a book! How many times have you uttered or heard these words? It is estimated that less than one-percent of the population will endeavor to publish a book; and of the people who actually start writing a manuscript, only 3% will actually publish their work. I'm not a writer. I'm blind. I don't know how to publish a book. Nobody is going to care about my book, let alone pay good money to buy it. Despite the self-deprecating thoughts I have, I've been fortunate and crazy enough to successfully publish a book ( Running into the Dark ) four years ago. It was a 400-page memoir that included the detailed story of my 3,063 mile run across the US. I was warned by authors and publishing houses to not write a memoir. "Readers only care about memoirs of the President, celebrities and famous people," they would say. Despite being warned, I wrote night and day for 9 months until the manuscript was complete. Then, I found a few editors, an assisted self pu

Race Report: Taking on THE KRAKEN (Puerto Rico 150+)

Image
ROMERO vs. THE KRAKEN Ancient greek mythology describes The Kraken as a legendary sea monster of magnificent proportions that lived in the sea and attacked ships and coastal villages.   The tales say that it dwelt off the coasts of Norway and Greenland . . . well, the tales were wrong.   The Kraken lives in the Caribbean, and I experienced the beast in all its fury 3 weeks ago during a 51 hour battle with the beast. This is my race report for the PR150+ ( www.puertorico150.com ) footrace traversing the island of Puerto Rico covering a distance of 185 miles on asphalt with a total elevation change of 46,000’.   It has been 3 weeks since my experience with The Kraken (my personal name for the PR150+).   I have purposefully waited to write-up a race report, as I knew the experience warranted careful reflection prior to sharing in the hopes that I could do the experience justice.   It was a monster of a challenge, and not for the weary of heart.   So here goes . . . I still r
