My goals are my own.. and from my perspective.. they scare me... but they also drive me. My goals may be not much of a challenge to many, but they are mine.. and I'll go after them :-) Great post!Jeff Galluphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218695593361254227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330212736054651223.post-92156339210271465312013-03-07T08:41:33.433-07:002013-03-07T08:41:33.433-07:00That's such a good post.

Let's face it, our physical abilities are dictated by our genes. But that doesn't mean we are any better or worse than the next person. Whether a runner is at a 11 min/mile pace or a 6 min/mile pace, it's the same effort. With hard work and perseverance we can get better. No, we won't break the tape but we can make ourselves proud and that's the only person we care about right? - ourself. <br />I read a quote the other day: A 12 minute mile is better, any way you look at it, than 12 minute on the couch in front of the TV.<br /><br />:) Keep running for the enjoyment.

Oddly when I reached a never-could've-imagined running goal, I *still* didn't believe I was actually "good enough" to have done that.
