Never Good Enough
So I am at a doctor appointment this morning…
Doc: You are pretty tan.
Me: Yeah, I am outside a lot.
Doc: With your job?
Me: No, I run an hour or more a day.
Doc: You do triathlons?
Me: Nah, I just like to run.
Doc: You race?
Me: Yeah, getting ready for a 100 mile race coming up.
Doc: 100 miles?!?!
Me: My first one.
Doc: Oh my gosh. Impressive. You know my neighbor runs a lot too. Does some races like those.
Me: Oh, yeah. Who’s your neighbor?
Doc: Her name is Darcy Africa. You know her?
Me: (Rolling eyes) I know of her. In fact, I raced with her in June. She doesn’t know me though.
Doc: Did you beat her?
Me: No. Not quite.
Doc: She’s good, right?
Me: Um, yeah.
See in this area, you might think you are good…but somebody else always knows somebody better.
