You are a runner, aren't you?
I started running about 3 1/2 years ago and although I am much better than when I started, I struggle with myself because I think I should be much better than I am. Last week I went to a doctor's appointment and was discussing surgery that he has recommended. He told me I should do okay after surgery because I am healthy. And then he said "you are a runner, aren't you?" Later that day I started thinking about his comment and it really made me feel good. I am a runner and I may think I should be running faster and farther but I have done pretty well. I have lots of years left to get better and my brothers and sisters motivate me because I have to keep up with them. Thanks Jay for the report of our April race....I really enjoyed reading it.

I think it's always helpful to realize the average American can't run a half mile without stopping. I think I should be faster too, but I am faster than most of the runners at the park where I regularly run...however there are a few out there much faster than me!
