This last Saturday I ran the farthest ever... 10 miles!!!!! First time double digits!!!! Woo hooo!! I had never done any sports, so I never knew I had it in me!!!
I think that’s why lately I've had this new found respect for athletes. I'm only going to be training 5 days a week, for 4 months, and to think about how much athletes train to win championships, break records, etc., just makes me want to 'take my hat off'. I never knew of all the hard work and level of commitment it entailed.
I had always thought to myself it was ridiculous to pay millions of dollars to athletes just for 'playing some sport', but now I think of it differently. Although I still think that millions of dollars is still a lot of money to pay someone, I respect all the hard work that happens before, during and after each and every game that most of us don’t get to see.
If you are an athlete, give yourself a ‘pat on the back’… you are doing something that most people don’t even think possible... I was one of them.
