Trust me, I know all about comparing. There’s always someone better and there’s always someone worse. So, it doesn’t really help anyone.

You’ve done very well!

I think I'm getting quicker Chief Wahoo. Can't wait for my event on Sunday. I just hope the weather clears by then. AndrewE's last blog post..Weigh in: A loss is a loss

What beautiful scenery to run in! And a very respectable 5K time to boot!

Rule number one, don’t compare yourself to others…that woman who motored past you had to start somewhere too, she wasn’t always that fast, you might have been out on your little route and someone looked at you and said “WOW I wish I could do that too” it all goes full circle.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful city with us. Someday when I’m sailing around the world I plan on dropping anchor there and just staying for a few months…or years.

I absolutely love what Metroknow said: I found inspiration in the fact that the hill that I had to climb was steeper. Well put and so true for those of us not naturally gifted in whatever we do.

The scenerey is great, Andrew. Thanks for sharing.

It looks like the scenery you have to run with beats mine!

Glad the training’s going well for the 5k. Fingers crossed for a PB!

My wife is about 140 lbs LESS than I am, and is naturally fit – meaning she eats pretty much what she wants and doesn’t have to exercise per se to look fabulous.

I am the antithesis of this.

So when we first started running together (when I was running, several years ago!) it was both inspiring and frustrating all at the same time. But in the end, I truly was running for just myself, and I found it intensely rewarding because of how hard it was for me (and how easy it was for her). In other words I found inspiration in the fact that the hill that I had to climb was steeper.

Yeah, I am a little out of my Frickin’ mind.
