Anyway, I was talking to some guys at work and they were giving me a bad time about running. There was also a comment on my "per mile" speed and the fact that I finished well back in the pack. Then I came across this quite by Lynn David Newton:
Given that running is a lifestyle choice, for most of us one that is pursued at least in part for health reasons, in most cases it's better to keep doing it slowly than to stop doing it entirely. The numbers we produce relative to *someone else's* effort are
unimportant.

Thanks Lynn for putting it in perspective. Great quote that will be added to my "motivation" wall.
