Disappointment

It has been another long day .. long hours of waiting .. and then nothing !

I decide to take a step further , that I myself was not really convinced with at the begining .The more I walked down the road , the more I believed in myself, and believed in the purpose of why I was running that mile .

My friends and family were cheering me , and supporting me all the way through . I know some of them were as excited as I am , if not more, to finish this journey of anticipation.I hoped to run across the finish line , with arms stretched wide open ...

But , I didnt !

I hoped and prayed and wanted to win really bad . There were better athletes I guess . Older than me in the business you might say . With "better" experiences perhaps.

Was it something that I did ? Or said ?Was my technique wrong ? Perhaps , I lacked necessary training ? I dont know , but I am waiting to find out .

Am I disappointed ? Hell yeah . Would I make this a reason to let me down ? Hell No .
If anything , this would push me further towards leaving a legacy to all the future runners with me in this team.

Why didnt I run a different race, where I could have assured myself a spot in the top 3 . It is because I didnt want to . I have been doing this exercise for a while now, and it was about time to try something different .Something challenging . Something exciting.

And so I did , but in doing so ,I understood where I am , and started to fathom what my next step would be .

I wish everyone who won the race all the best , and I know I will be a WINNER next year !
