After a few setbacks, I hope to be on track towards greatness this year!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment on my new header photo! You're the only one who noticed! haha! I have a few others from that run if you're interested in them. I think the reservoir at sunrise (or sunset) is absolutely beautiful!<br /><br />Oh, and it's great to hear your story - and why you run.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100196071084452143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-74670211011031214272010-03-12T20:03:38.143-05:002010-03-12T20:03:38.143-05:00Well said.

If inspiring others equals greatness, then you are already there. BTW, I love your new picture at the top, AND I saw Mr. Gilbert again last weekend. Although he didn't remember me, he very smiley and friendly as we had lunch together on a picnic bench on the mountain in Vail. He was lovely. :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850402946096255139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-47526574685761771752010-03-11T16:21:49.976-05:002010-03-11T16:21:49.976-05:00Nice new header image!

Always got laughed at most of the time being sports as a kid growing up. So I doubt I will ever achieve anything close enough to be defined as greatness, but I guess to be the best that I can be is enough for me!<br /><br />Great post.

Talk about striving for greatness! I think you are right, most of us aren't natural runners there is just something in us that makes us want to endure the training. Maybe to prove that we can achieve something that seemed impossible. I love the feeling of crossing the finish line knowing you did it. Nothing better.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254493351463617215noreply@blogger.com
