I remember in high school when my brother were wrestling. Their coach constantly was after them not necessarily how losing, but HOW they lost. What you do with a loss, determines whether you will move on to a win. <br /><br />I really enjoyed your post here.

You'll get your 2:45, no doubt, as you have the talent to do so. The marathon is a funky race to figure out, I'm convinced my first BQ was a fluke and it's only now, after 9 attempts, that I think I know how to run it. Of course, it's likely I'll be proven wrong the next time.Greg Strosakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155386553090577612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459267351887007242.post-87527895603684185802011-11-18T13:48:36.651+01:002011-11-18T13:48:36.651+01:00Thanks a lot Fitz, I really appreciate you taking ...Thanks a lot Fitz, I really appreciate you taking a look.iRunParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06027208754383675541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459267351887007242.post-8966613246022383672011-11-18T13:43:56.154+01:002011-11-18T13:43:56.154+01:00Powerful post Tim, great lessons here.Powerful post Tim, great lessons here.Jason Fitzgeraldhttp://www.strengthrunning.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459267351887007242.post-1975110217390063122011-11-18T13:23:27.204+01:002011-11-18T13:23:27.204+01:00Thanks Jake!
