It’s amazing to see these people break through these barriers because they do so for us all as well as for themselves.

There’s something amazing about watching a world class athlete in their prime doing something incredible. For my generation I think of Usain Bolt. In Beijing, you just knew he was about to do something amazing and when he looked back before crossing the finishing line, he knew he’d done something amazing too.

But we’re all incredible in our own ways. The chances of us all just being here,together right now, is literally billions to 1.

So here’s to the incredible you. 🍺

Terrific writing once again. Humbled by you inserting me in the same paragraphs as the iconic Bannister but your point is quite valid and that is why I love road running since you are running with the elites and even though they my be twice as fast or faster at getting to the finish line, you still are pushing yourself through the same psychological resistance the elites experience. That knowledge is invaluable.
