on the cover of a magazine...

ha...that's just 2008 passionrun finisher certificate...last year's came in the form of a calendar...this year's in the form of a magazine cover...

Weiliang emailed an article called "Sometimes we need to rethink what it means to succeed" by John Bingham...thought these 2 paragraphs are worth mentioning and are definitely applicable to our lives...be it running or non-running

"Many of us put so much significance on one day in our running lives that we're almost guaranteed to be disappointed. We set goals, have expectations, make plans based on our egos. We convince ourselves that who we are will be based on what we accomplish that day.

When that day doesn't turn out as we expected, we often allow ourselves to be devastated. I've seen runners on the brink of a breakdown because they missed their self-imposed standard of performance. But a day is just a day. A race is just a race. It is our selfishness, our self-centeredness that creates the disappointments that we too often let define us."
