Day 310, T-55 (March 31, 2021)

5.37 miles (total: 1771.76 miles)

As I began to be realistic with my expectations for myself as a runner, I am more realistic with myself as a person. I learned that my development as a person is not any more linear than my improvement as a runner. In my spirit, as well as my body, there are days when I am much better than the day before and there are days when I have very little to offer. By letting go of the expectations of others, by eliminating "should's" from my running, I've realized there is no need to compare myself to anyone else. I also realized that real uniqueness is being what you are, not in relative terms - not in simply being different from others - but in absolute terms - being wholly and completely who you are. Even if some days you kind of suck at everything..
