"All runners are not created equal. We do not start with the same genes or have the same time or resources for training. For better or worse, we are all unique. Put things in perspective. Have you ever noticed that faster runners rarely seem satisfied with their performances, while many slower runners wear a perpetual grin on their faces?"

I think this one fits well with yours BG, I hope you agree.
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
(But, unless you're a runner, you won't understand.)

ReplyDeleteGreat quote....
ReplyDeleteBrad and I liked a tee shirt that said "My sport is your sports punishment!"
Sorry, that was me "BG" that put that quote on but I couldn't figure out how to put my name at the bottom. It is the old lady, non- computer/blog type person, be kind to me :)
ReplyDeleteThat's alright Linda, I will totally take credit for that one! I am for sure the slow one with the perpetual grin.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say the slow one but you are definently the one with the grin, that's what we love about having you around!
