I most certainly have no natural talent, but with running, if you put the time in, you will see improvement. It's such a great sport.

I was good enough to make varsity and play, so I didn't push too hard. I always worked hard during the season, but off season, yikes!

I think I have some talent, but like you, I work my butt off and that's the biggest factor in success, if you ask me. But I will also say that the true elite of the elite are those that both have talent and are willing to work hard. That's the combo that can't be beat.misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528976842290078378.post-26061529465789337912011-10-06T06:50:51.478-07:002011-10-06T06:50:51.478-07:00Hmmm.

I just got done reading a book called Running Shorts, by Joe Muldowney it was INSPIRING! SO are blogs like this because on a long training run I can flash back to reading this or something from the book and say, I am not alone with some of the setbacks I encounter and I can push thru!!crisEmuldowneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773546267833975357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528976842290078378.post-1792532224592204422011-10-06T05:18:58.984-07:002011-10-06T05:18:58.984-07:00Way to get me thinking at 8am, Shelly!

I tend to think there is SOME element of talent, but it's worthless without the hard work. Everyone may be talented but many will never know it!Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.com
