Putting goals in perspective
Karla Bruning, the Washington Times' running blogger, wrote a nice piece today about maintaining perspective when goals get delayed. Specifically interesting was how she compared her own problems to those of Ryan Hall, who's in the area right now for the Marine Corps Marathon expo. From Bruning's post:
My doctor postulated that I had a meniscus tear, tendonitis or a pinched fat pad. First, all I could think was, “What? My knees are fat?” Sheesh! And then, “Oh no! Am I going to be able to run the marathon?”If a pro like Ryan Hall could pull the plug on the big goal in the big race that he’d been training for his entire career, perhaps I could conceive of missing the marathon.
