What is interesting about this whole blogging craze is that there are millions of these things out there and in most cases hardly anybody reads them - in fact I may be the only person who ever reads this line I'm writing right now - but I don't really know where this will go and maybe others will read it (my ego stepping in). The immidiate question though is: why am I putting my ramblings online? Well, it is really all personal (although I would imagine that some people who might stumble upon this ramble might find some things here useful - again my ego).
Recently (the past 10 yrs or so) I have been focused on training my body to cover distances of 800m to 10000m (depending on what time of year it is) over hill and dale or around the track at as fast an average pace as I possibly can. However, it is not that simple because I am not only trying to go as fast as possible but also beat other people who are roughly in the same place on the fitness continuum as me - maybe get that last little bit out of me that they can not get out of themselves... So there are always two goals, one - become a fundamentally "better runner" over time, and two - get as much out of myself with what I've got and where I am.
On a side note, I'm also interested in helping other people become "better runners" and "better people" so all the more reason to place an imprint of my experience online if others learn from it. Note: the word "Compete" comes from routes meaning "to seek together" and so I am organizing what I think, believe, read, learn, love, hate, say, and hear, and everything in between (as it relates to running or maybe not) online so that I have a point of reference - it seems better than writing it down on a piece of paper - or saving it in a fragmented fashion on my hard-drive so here goes...
