But in the aftermath, it is kind of weird. I have two friends that won't run because they won't win. What is up with that? I'm not going to even be in the race actually, but as long as I do better than last time... This time it meant running more of the first 5K then I have before and doing my best for the day. If I do that I'm happy. If I follow the example of only doing what I'm great at, I probably wouldn't try anything. I'm not a great swimmer but I do what I is a passion and work hard and don't quit. I'm not a runner but the goal is to be healthy and have fun. In the past I've won races where I have not done my best, I've done my best and not won. There have been times that I have done both and it was never enough for those I swam for. So, if I'm doing what I love and giving it my best every given day, I'm living life not watching it. I think I would rather enjoy the journey not the destination be it in the water, biped or anything else I dream up. Waiting until I'm 'good enough' is not an option, because it is such a subjective term and really not an achievable goal. So for those that want to wait on the sidelines, enjoy. I'm playing.
