waddell, you wrote a good post
my reply is retarded, but i'm female
and irrational, so everyone can just pretend to read it and then pat me
on the head and tell me i look pretty when i'm talking nonsense..
anyway, i remember once a year or two ago i was out running and
listening to the radio and there was a line from a goofy pop song that
said, "by the time i recognize this moment, this moment will be gone..."
and it made me think of the last race i had done where i was as good as
i was ever going to be.
i had no idea on that last race day that i wouldn't race ever again or
that i was only a year away from middle aged fat ass. i thought i had
hundreds of more moments like that coming my way, but it turned out to
be the last one of its kind for me. no big deal in the grand scheme of
things
but still, i liked your post.
