Be master of your own time

Yesterday he went for a run around the football stadium again. That time he took the fitness smartwatch but decided not to let the machine control him. It would only record the kilometers travelled, the time and the calories spent. 


be master of your own time


  

As he advanced on the circular track, he felt the device vibrate, probably to give information about the time it took to cover the last kilometer or to warn that the heart rate had exceeded the previously established limit. 

  

He continued to run straight ahead without taking his eyes off the fitness smatwatch, not least because to consult him he had to remove his glasses that only served to see in the distance. 

  

He ran one lap and another, limiting himself to counting the number of laps performed and surprise, he broke his personal mark in one more lap. 

 

He realized he would have to make better use of the time he had to run. 


 

Be master of your own time.
