Saturday I ran a 5k as I normally do on occasion. The only thing was I ran slower than I have run in 20 years, but felt like I was working harder. I still placed 2nd, but I would normally have beat the winning guy by close to a minute. I walked away scratching my head. Could it be:
- I'm just plain getting old?
- I've just had my yellow fever, polio, typhoid, tetanus and"hepatitis "A" shots a couple days ago for Kenya?
- I just had a bad day?
- I'm going bald?
I got home and explained what happened to my wife who posed a very tough question. "Would you still run if you couldn't win anymore?" Ouch! After much thought, I guess my answer would be - NO. If that were the case, I would try to find something else I could compete at and win. My answer kind of shocked me and revealed alot about myself. I'm running another 5k this Saturday and will hopefully bounce back. If not, I guess I will be looking for a new hobby. lol.
