The Race
My friend Dave who ran marathons used to tell me how his slower running friends would needle him after a race that he did not finish. Dave would run marathons in under 3 hours, his times were world class. His slower running friends would complete the race at a time that was often an hour or more slower than Dave's usual time. Dave would be running the twenty six miles to achieve a personal record and would either run out of gas or would suffer an injury an not be able to complete the race.
As his slower friends passed him on the course with a wry smile, they were excited to see him afterwards to tell him -
The race does not always go to the swiftest but those that keep on running. Just like the tortoise and the hare. Sometimes all we have to do is just keep going.
Yes you can,
Coach K
