Subject: RE: Race report is upI am proud. Maybe for the first time in my life, and maybe for a short time, but I'm really in awe of myself. I did it. And to Ken... I hope when he does it he can e-mail, post or tell me what it meant to him - and justify why it was better than mine or tell me it wasen't. Of course he can't, but I think by that time he will understand and will simply think: Ok, I get it. It's about you - and me. From one IM to another, congratulations. I think that is what will happen. I wont be in his mind, hell just understand the personal triumph and sacrifice involved and understand. I hope he gets what it's about - testing, improving and pushing yourself. Graphs, tools and diagrams are tools, not the goal. I feel sorry for people who don't get it and admire people who are beyond it, and me. Smell the flowers, don't worry about the traffic on the way to the meadow. I learn this all the time. 

Does this mean I'm a hippy? My mom will be so happy.... |
