Of more miles at slower paces. Of being outside and enjoying the sights and sounds of the world around me. Yes. After three years I think I’m starting to get the hang of this..."</i><br /><br />Loved this quote, Glenn! I think that is a fantastic attitude and approach, and I can totally agree.

I like that! I totally think you are right on with this analogy. I think when you focus on what you are able to do and enjoy yourself things go so much smoother anyway.

Or, dare I say it, something more appealing than running with 40 billion people crammed onto tiny streets comes along?

Last year, I realized I had to make my own goals...not necessarily the ones often spoken about (PRs, BQ-ing, etc.) and that has helped me a lot. Life is too short not to.

Stop living in the past and throw yourself out into the now. It's hard, we know what we were once capable of, but there's nothing wrong with a new direction! Glad things are looking up, Glenn! :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-82728471027851257192011-01-17T11:42:41.963-08:002011-01-17T11:42:41.963-08:00Poor Glenn, you have the disadvantage of being mal...Poor Glenn, you have the disadvantage of being male, so it took until you had some adversity (age) to learn this. <br /><br />As a female, I had to learn young how to compete against men. On my bike riding as a late teen with adult men, I just had to go as strong as I could, not give up. Playing raquetball in college I had to learn how to aim the ball right into the corner, play smart, because I didn't have the physical strength of my male opponents.<br /><br />Women in the work world (at least women our age, but probably still women your daughter's age) also have to work harder and work smarter, because it's still a man's world.<br /><br />Good luck and remember to have fun!!ridgeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932848610324245206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031751345462244954.post-3285823598028043132011-01-17T11:06:10.850-08:002011-01-17T11:06:10.850-08:00Hah!

I'm definitely one of those people who sees everything going well for me and is tempted to throw everything into increasing my "results." I'm trying to be more cautious this time. =)Julie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695544893811029409noreply@blogger.com
