Be Humble

Be Humble

That way you won’t be distressed when that old guy comes floating off the hill on another path and hands you your ass on a plate.

Even though that old guy is probably younger than you

Even though you are 3 hours into a long run and he probably isn’t long out the door

Even though you have just done a killer hill session and your legs are trashed

Even though you are deliberately keeping your heart rate low.

Even though you a running your own pace and have no reason to be competitive

Even though you let him go because you know you couldn’t keep up without looking like a twat
Even though you just know that any other day you could take him

      not a bad day in its own way, but did have that shameful little internal monologue about how I wasn’t bothered he was running away from me even though I was

    It’s December….and its your training, not racing…. Will need to get out in the hills with you sometime…. Play the game for the longer term goals, not short term chest beating! X
