I’ll never win a marathon but I can always beat me. To be a better runner, a better me, I have to expect more from myself.
Sometimes even when I’m pushing myself I sometimes ask too little. Even in times I think I have given all I can.
There are times we need others to remind us that even what we thought was the most falls shy. Not in any ugly way. I mean a firm, yet empathetic call to dig deeper.
On today’s training run, Badr, (a guy who’s finished all fitness levels LOL) reminded how much I loved sprinting. I hadn’t done a lot of speed work due to some niggles. But am stronger and ready again.
Even the best need others to tell them they haven’t asked enough of themselves. Even the best.
