taking it easy and spending time with the girls

today's run was especially nice. it was the first run in a long time that theophani ran with me. she wanted to get her run in today because track was cancelled due to rain. we did an easy 3.5 because the weather was touch and go. although perfect for running: cool and shady was also looking a lot like a down pour. we stayed close to home especially because we had mia with us. i'm glad theophani took it easy on her shin and i was glad to find that she ran quietly and was very focused. i have been giving some thought to the idea that skill is nothing that only will matters. that each of us can increase our talents by our will and not because of some superhuman engineering. we are not destined for great things not because we are given everything but we are destined for great things because we determine to give great effort. decided what needs to be done and get it done. don't limit success by setting secondary gains or hitch-hiking agendas. time trials, placements, heart rates and weight loss is a drain on the point. remove the excuses and just do it. day after day renew you commitment. then you will learn why 26.2 is the short run.
