Perspective
On Friday, my wife and I went out with some friends from our triathlon club. We went to a bar and watched an improv class from a local community college taught by two club members. We had a great time and enjoyed the show. Several times during the evening friends asked me about my training and I gladly informed them that my run on Saturday morning was “only 13 miles”. It dawned on me that “only” and “13 miles” don’t really go together for anyone except someone who has lost perspective on the activity, and is facing 26.2 miles in just a few weeks. Three years ago the thought of running 13 miles would have been foolhardy, now it’s my long run in an easy week.
Friday also marked Sandy’s first swim training class. Did I mention that she will be doing her first triathlon this summer!
Jim, Good luck on your training! When I talked to Sandy the other day she didn’t mention that she too was in training. You guys are the bomb!!!!
All the best, Shari
