I just ranted about something like this, except my final analysis was to drive on and conquer my NEXT goal. Thanks for reminding me to appreciate that I accomplished my LAST goal, too. Awesome story!

But then I remember that I've only been running seriously for a year or two now, and that those people probably have been running since high school, if not earlier. And I also remember that two years ago, I used to run 12, 12.5-minute miles, and now I'm running under 10-minute miles and still improving. So don't knock yourself, you're getting better and you have an extremely admirable mental attitude and tenacity. I think you rock. :) -Dani, dani@manyfires.com, http://manyfires.diaryland.com I’ve been passed before on the road, and it freakin’ sucks.

Just offering an other perspective - personally, I just love being challenged.

Be proud Chris. You've done some amazing stuff. You've also gotta remember it doesn't matter how fast you are or get, there will always be runner's smokin' past ya and that ain't a bad thing. Personally, I love that aspect of running especially given that 99% of runners who are faster than me are SUPER supportive of me whereever I am in relation to them. I love having people to look up to and learn from. You kick ass Chris. Plain and simple. You gotta know that!!! I’ve said it before: “You are where you are”. Be proud Chris. You’ve done some amazing stuff.

To push before one is ready for that kind of speed can mean injury. I think what you are doing is amazing, Chris. You should feel proud of where your personal race is.

If its just for the joy of being outdoors, then cool. If you're trying to transform yourself and get better, faster, stronger, then you have to push yourself. My advice? Join the club. When I hooked up with the Gazelles here in Austin, I was the slowest runner in the club. When I join back up after my MCL retreats, I probably will be again. But there has never been a time when I was with them when I wasn't pushing myself. And there hasn't been another time where I gained speed, strength and confidence anywhere near as fast. These two things are probably related. You know, sometimes you have to ask yourself why you’re running (in general, and on a given day). If its just for the joy of being outdoors, then cool.
