Parcel Delivery

Today I got(/received) a delivery of four parcels(/packages, but the British say parcel ;), each weighing over 20 kg. The DHL guy(/delivery man) didn't even breathe a bit (/any) quicker after he had carried the fourth parcel to the 4th floor. He was running effortlesslylight footedly up the stairs two steps at a time. After half an hour of schlepping (i don't thing that's really a word, but then again it works colloquially. You could just say dragging) them to the 5th floor, unpacking and shelving the goods and the subsequently cutting apart of the boxes and the other packaging material and going all the way to and from back from the paper wastepaper bin I needed a rest and a glass of water. ThereafterAfterwards, I mused about the sparsity of parcel deliverymen/women among in the rows of marathon runners or those saying „"next year I'm going to train for a marathon". dang, mused and sparsity are difficult words!

I imagined how what he would say:

„"I train for the marathon before work; cycling (managing officers often say driving, but that's a clear mistake) to work full of energy after the first victory of the day that's is great. I do it at least four to six times (at least four to six times seems a bit excessive, do the DHL deliverymen actually work 6 days a week? I hope they are at least getting paid some overtime.) a week and I use the training for self motivationleadership (?Selbstführung - I love this word)(Unfortunately, I don't think you can use it in english. does it mean the same as selbskommutierung, self-motivation is something different). To run an attractive Running marathons motivates me to overcome my weaker lazier inner self, and what's more, it gives me lasting energy, creativity, and endurance in my job. I've learned I could can achieve anything if I do it step by step.
