Motivation - or The Three Minute Mile

It's true that man made it to space,
but can he run a three-minute mile race?
They said it could never be done
till a man, in three minutes, won, 
while a grizzly got second place.

Yep, my secret technique for overcoming procrastination is to pretend there's a grizzly bear hot on my trail.
