Competition is a good thing when it hones our skills and when we are really competing against ourselves not the other person. Of course, who would compete if they didn't want to win, at least a little! Sometimes it is winning just to be allowed to enter a race. I know that from a friend of mine who runs for fun, but has run some shorter races including at Disney. Come visit again! Hi Kate, Thanks for stopping by.

Well done! I run, somewhat competitively. My admiration is for those who have struggled with their demons (personal and public) yet, kept on the path - whatever that path may be. An amputee has struggled in ways I can't begin to imagine, but is he more man or more machine? As much as I would like to give support to my injured brothers and sisters, allowing them to race regular legs would lead to over-anxious amputees. When you want to win, you MUST win . . . at any cost.
