I think that's probably very true for me, too, although I've never thought about it that way. <br /><br />Sometimes I do fantasize about really committing to getting fit and trying to get some new PRs out of myself, but these fantasies *always* involve me taking some time off work or severely modifying my work situation. The fantasy totally has 2 parts! I'd never put those 2 things together before... bthttp://bitingtongue.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393232.post-44977008814941148682016-02-06T11:34:08.247-08:002016-02-06T11:34:08.247-08:00Good luck at Kaiser!

I'm wondering how much of it has to do with your background in *actual* competitive sports, versus some of us who find running later in life as a means to test ourselves, etc. <br /><br />I also don't think it's a coincidence that I started to set running goals AFTER I decided not to pursue my ambitions of becoming a tenure-track assistant professor at a top research university. Some people can "do it all" but I'm not one of them.
