We’ll start with a rare running-related disappointment (my standards are low!)… an unprecedented involuntary DNF (“did not finish”) in yesterday’s JFK-50 miler… I failed to meet an intermediate time cut-off, and my day was over at mile 27.3; I might have met the 12 hour cut-off for the 50 miles, but just could not do that after 13 miles of extremely unpleasant Appalachian Trail terrain. Such is life. Genuine introspection to follow.
And in a less surprising disappointment, see my prior post, ___ at last. For various reasons, that’s all I’ll say on the subject.
This has been… “disappointments.”
This all very disconcerting. So much so, I think I’ll…nevermind. I swear I don’t know how people look at this disgrace in the face everyday. I remember feeling something like this on this date in ’63, and I was only 11. Speaking of “disappointments”.
