You're elite in MY eyes. But then there's my friend Monica who is stuck right at the 5K in 30minute mark and can't get under. She's super frustrated and compares herself to me. And the shortest I've run a 5K is 25:30. Good but not incredible. So it SUCKS comparing and contrasting in running, work, relationships, family, etc etc etc. We have to find a balance between using other people to better ourselves, but finding happiness in what we can do alone.Miss Organizizedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239887034821623463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-27411117574591712962010-08-27T06:04:39.188-07:002010-08-27T06:04:39.188-07:00you are so silly sometimes... you are a smiling, t...you are so silly sometimes... you are a smiling, talented, and earthy badass! are you kidding me? iremember when you started blogging, when you just started running, and look where you are. you are a badass inspiration!!!!!!!Ulyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15241777042565026574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-12823814747729838892010-08-27T05:15:25.703-07:002010-08-27T05:15:25.703-07:00I'll tell you one thing that you DO do incredi...I'll tell you one thing that you DO do incredibly well (in addition to your running, despite what you may currently be thinking), and that's entertain the hell out of us with your witty and downright hilarious posts.

Especially since i have had a year of injury after injury and have basically had to start over from scratch...When I find myself being caught up in comparing myself to other runners I read this quote "I don't think of other runners as competitors, I don't see them as runners that are going to prevent me from winning. I see them as the very poeple who are going to help me be victorious" (John Bingham)...It's amazing how that quote changes my attitude and helps me not only learn something from other runners, but also makes me much more apt to encourage other runners, without worrying about my own insecurities!Newly and Forever, Tamanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09525072530181912306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-15167300495500414102010-08-26T06:54:21.042-07:002010-08-26T06:54:21.042-07:00I think a lot of runners feel that way, especially...I think a lot of runners feel that way, especially during a race.
