A reason NOT to skip the post-race awards ceremony
Comments (11) A bad runner’s habit of mine is skipping the post-race awards ceremony. I’ve only stayed once – the time my mom, sister and aunt came to watch us. And I am not sure what made us stay then.
As soon as I finished running this past Sunday, I was ready to go home. I felt really sick. And I didn’t think my time was that good. And I was a bit disappointed in myself. Just a bit.
I searched the internet tonight to find Steven’s score for him… and found out that I placed first in my age bracket (AND that 16 seconds got added on to my score?!?!). First out of two people, but first nonetheless.
Guess I should have stuck around to hear my name called for once.
I need to make more of an effort to stick around just to cheer others on, and participate in the running community. It’s time to be less selfish about running… I do it for my health, but it’s not just about me when I am at a race!
Dammit. I feel stupid.
