The way you used to be
Posted on October 31st, 2008 by Andrew
I read a great quote on Andrew’s blog. It is from a book called “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running” by Haruki Murakami.
“In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.”
I’m going to crush the old me on Sunday! 
Haha!!! You’re the man!!!!

It is a great quote that sums up the inner personal battle that goes on with all runners and those aspiring for more than the last run.

That’s such a key part of success for most of us. Compare our performance to how we did before, not how someone else is doing.
Wishing you great success with your run! You win the minute you cross the finish line, no matter which minute that is.

Good luck for the Half Marathon tomorrow. I hope to also beat the old me over 21 km tomorrow, but it’s a bit of a long shot……

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to beat the old me today, was 5 minutes too long. Look forward to your race report.
