I need to remove both slow and only from my vocabulary along with the phrase "but I walked." It's okay to walk and I need to remember this!Becky @ Olives n Winehttp://www.olivesnwine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226647025860212227.post-23758445140944467552013-07-12T07:53:00.462-07:002013-07-12T07:53:00.462-07:00Great post!

We all get caught up in this kind of negative talk because it is all relative (unless you're a world class runner, and I'm sure they have their own version of it). Everyone is slower than someone, but we are all faster than that person who has yet to get off the couch.Debbie @ Live form La Quintahttp://livefromlaquinta.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226647025860212227.post-58684037657295995012013-07-12T03:29:04.457-07:002013-07-12T03:29:04.457-07:00I really love this post!

I had a friend say to me last week that he had "only" run 30 miles that week. I reminded him that that was kind of a crazy perspective! Good for you for turning these negative phrases out of your vocabulary and focusing on what you CAN do!misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226647025860212227.post-38501246985574094982013-07-12T02:17:59.195-07:002013-07-12T02:17:59.195-07:00Been there, done that.

And I love that Lisa also commented on how she also struggles with the same thing because I think the two of you are awesomely fast. So, it is all relative.<br /><br />And, after my chiro appointment tonight and a little sobering reality check that we don't really know what's going on with my toe, I think I'm just going to be happy in the future that I can run at all.

When I get caught up in the comparison trap, I remind myself that we are all putting in an equal amount of effort. I saw an obese person running 15 + min. miles and saw that he was putting in equal effort (perhaps more) to that of elite athlete. Nothing could have been more inspiring, it brought me to tears to see the look on his face as he struggled to cross the finish line. I do see some people put down those that are fast, saying they shouldn't be saying their times out loud because it makes others feel slow.. that is wrong too, we should all celebrate each other successes.
