I know a lot of people think I'm too competitive, but I like to look at my competitiveness as motivation. I don't think I would be as good of a runner or a business owner or engineer if I wasn't competitive.
Today I did my run with new purpose. I even got on my bike and did the workout I missed (skipped) last week. So thank you, fast chicks, for motivating me to become a better runner.
PS- I'm not doing this to go out and beat people, by the way. I feel motivated to make myself the best runner I can be. Just wanted to clarify. :)

I'm motivated to be faster than those I read too. :) It's all good motivation, I agree! But in the end, yes, it's about the self.
i agree! when i read other runner girl blogs, i am so impressed! i try not to feel like a big slow poke, and try to use it as motivation.
There are always faster people out there...I run the New York Road Runners races, and am lucky if I finish in the top 1000. Then again there are 5000 or so entrants, so 20th percentile isn't so bad. Its all a matter of context.
And I love the T Shirt from Niketown.
i know exactly what you are saying! it is great motivation as long as you don't get too hard on yourself to the point of dreading a run. keep channeling that drive and you'll be beating them soon :)
