I really like that quote.
I do admit ...Good post. I really like that quote.<br /><br />I do admit to sometimes being (silently! Occasionally!) judgmental of others' training, and I do try to remember that we are all the best experts of our own bodies. I believe the training I am doing right now is what is going to give me the best chance to succeed in my running goals (while letting me also have other aspects to my life, like a career or a night out once in a while) but I also believe that if someone tells me that they are having success with another approach, who am I to tell them that they are wrong? <br /><br />There are dozens if not hundreds of approaches to something like a marathon. They can't all be right for everyone, but each is probably right for someone. So even when I want to say, 'REALLY? THAT PLAN??' I remember that it might be the exact right approach for them, even if it's not for me.

It is appropriate to your post to cite<br /><br /> 'try walking a mile in another man's shoes' and for each of us to remember that our way is not the only way.<br /><br />yfa<br />x<br />AnneAnne Etrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444677056541187922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538712108556026133.post-61073963150879235242013-09-02T07:49:13.217-07:002013-09-02T07:49:13.217-07:00I appreciate your comment.

I admit that I am completely guilty of chastising myself for a time that other people dream of, it's hard not to do as we are our own worst critics.

You illustrate the turmoil that can go through the mind of a recreational distance runner trying to do the best he or she can do with the ability they have, while trying not to compare yourself to others, yet realizing the inevitable reality that we often do. It's so confusing when there are so many different running philosophies out there and trying to choose what's best for you. Myself as a 50 year old man am absolutely ecstatic that I have finally reached middle of the pack(and sometimes slightly above) status in my age group. I will add there is nothing more frustrating than seeing a post from someone who totally chastises them self for posting a time in a race that we dare not dream of.Bill Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762907298977812596noreply@blogger.com
