Too much pain, not enough gain.
Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction."---John F Kennedy
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else."---Winston Churchill
Too much dieting, not enough loss.
Too much work, not enough time.
Too much salad, not enough ice cream.
Too much weight training, not enough muscle.
Too much wind/rain/sleet, not enough sunshine.
Too much thinking, not enough doing.
Too much water, not enough beer.
I'm tired. Just like I'm supposed to be. All is well I think? I could use a little cooperation from the weather over the next couple of weeks. If I could get 2 or 3 longer bike rides in before my marathon it would help my confidence a great deal. Tomorrow I ride regardless of what the weather does, and right now it doesn't look too friendly.
Weather didn't bother Canadian Joshua Cassidy today as he won the wheelchair division of the Boston marathon in a world record time of 1:18:25. In comparison, the winning runners time was 10 minutes slower than last year. I did the math and discovered that Cassidy pushed his wheelchair at an average speed of 32.3 kms/hr over the 42.2 kms!! That's a good ride for me on my bike. And they call him handicapped?

Winning a race is not who comes in first. Winning is the feeling one would get from finishing the course. Actually, even those who get to the point of bowing out before the end, should applaud themselves for the effort they have put in.
ReplyDeleteI am not an athlete, by no means, my interpretation comes into the goals l have set in my passions of life. Whilst my body remains pretty much intact, my brain is what takes the beating. Sometimes it bites me back and then there are times when l take it to the extreams of perseverance, and WIN!
Take your challenge in stride, the results will be the same in the end. The interpretation is what defines the result. You are already a winner in my eyes. You inspire me. BE NOT Afraid! Love you my friend xo
