Tempo.

Tempo may be the most overlooked key to a life that makes music.

Run, pause, sprint, walk, skip, stroll, rest, and jump are all tempos. The degree to which you bend towards one of these more than all of the others will effect your music.

To run a marathon (which we all are) it takes all of these tempos to get to 26.2 miles. Temper your running with resting…the music plays and you win.
