I ran this race. I wasn’t the last, but i marveled this morning about how empty the sentiment was at the bottom of my timing ticket.  “no award”  I am not saying anything about the managers of this marathon event, but everything about how we interpret our circumstances, our accomplishments, our lives. Something is wrong when “no award” is the take-home message for a New Years resolution for 2017, and 8 months of hard work accomplished..shame on me…and how can i fix that attitude. At 74 it is a little late trying to fix it, but i remain hopeful. I look at my division placement… i came in last/i came in second…both are correct, but i see only the former.
