Payton ran in his second cross country meet yesterday. Finished with a new PR! Not just a PR, but a PR of about 1:30 less than his previous best 3000 meter time! Awesome.
Of course, being eleven years old, Payton doesn't always see running the same way I see it. After 25 years of running races and trying to set PR's, I can definitely take the long view. Payton prefers a shorter view...
"How many people did I beat?"
"A few. But you set a PR!"
"Did I beat more people than last time?"
"Payton, you took a minute-thirty off your time from the last meet. That's great!"
"Yeah, I guess."
Ah running...it's all relative, right?
