But we can't let that get us down because all the work we do DOES pay off, just not always in the ways we wanted or expect. Wonderful job putting yourself out there and racing hard - j. wasn't the only one proud of you - we are too!!!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17228735227119427610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144213800235434231.post-56962287710240498282009-06-09T05:04:21.620-07:002009-06-09T05:04:21.620-07:00Congrats on a great race Cat!

Funny - if O ever gets into racing and isn't able to cheer me on because he's actually IN the race, I think I will feel the same way as you - missing all that support! :)<br /><br />Anyway, I do understand your frustration with work put in equaling the result achieved. I think everyone at some point feels a little of that - only they might be wondering if they will ever be able to run in the 9-10 min/mile range...or the 5-6 min/mile range... like you said, it's all relative. BUT, but...never say never Cat. ;)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247635973514495690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144213800235434231.post-20608440615348541252009-06-09T02:42:55.923-07:002009-06-09T02:42:55.923-07:00Don't be too harsh on yourself Cat.

I a, kind of like you - I work hard, do my training and all the other stuff (OK. but I know I can do better) and at the end of the day I have to accept that I won't be running 6 min miles... like ever. But we take this challenge that not maney other people do. And we love it and have fun. That is important. You did so well, very proud of you.ADChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681410636337246464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144213800235434231.post-9962285578301105502009-06-09T00:12:27.064-07:002009-06-09T00:12:27.064-07:00#1.

But also just thinking of how much slower I would be (running) if I wasn't working on it so diligently. Shoot, those 13.1 miles last weekend might have been WAY longer if I wasn't working so hard. But you know what? At the end of the day it's really about the journey and the dedication and work ethic you show is what really matters. And you can be PROUD of that! :)<br />XOXOMichelle Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301323188060167291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144213800235434231.post-37770990373537817312009-06-08T23:16:01.116-07:002009-06-08T23:16:01.116-07:00Great job Cat - anyone who has the guts and courag...Great job Cat - anyone who has the guts and courage to race gets an "A" in my book. I had to chuckle about the rules thing - yeah, it chaps my ass as well ;) Pass on the left... drop back if passed...don't block...it seems so simple. Yet EVERY race there are people out there doing silly things.<br /><br />Don't get down on yourself - I've SEEN you push yourself (our run at Penasquitos Canyon in march 2008), and know that you are capable of great things. Never give up on yourslef... When I used to row, my coach told me that it takes 1,000 strokes in a single before you row the PERFECT one. And that's NOT during a race...And I'm not saying that you have to bike 1,000 miles or anything silly like that ;) Hang in there though, and don't get down on yourlsef! - you ARE talented and have an incredible work ethic! Keep up the great work and enjoy the journey in addition to the end result... :)<br /><br />Yea about the GI stuff - getting better! :) :) :)Marit C-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742572497365287990noreply@blogger.com
