Down, but not out

I'm going to write about a personal thing, running, that so pales in comparison to the spiritual thing, Jesus' death. Still, the parallel is on my mind.

I've been second at my last four races. Bel Monte, Loco Ocho, Owl's Roost, and Anne Springs Close Greenway. The distances were 25K, 8 miles, half marathon, half marathon. I can't seem to win. I'm just a little off my game. Frustrated, but guilty feeling that I am complaining about such great results.

Dale Earnhardt once said, "Second place is first loser." I have felt this way.

Here's to winning. Someday.
