There is a phenomenon among runners... They train relentlessley, put so much heart into everything they do... and yet there will only be one winner. How does one deal with the mediocrity of not winning... What if you never win? Time and time again you run the race. What if you *know* you're never going to win in your lifetime? What keeps you running? What keeps you from quitting, knowing that just another mediocre finish is around the corner? Post a reply on the Bulletin Board | Send email reply to Jen
