Yet, I was determined to go ahead I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball, I didnt do either well. He later informed me that I was not athletic The idea that I was not athletic stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.
