we're all amateurs, unless you are a Kenyan.
if there is a start line, a clock, and a finish line, it's a race, but it doesn't mean you are there to "win", mostly you compete against yourself, or, run for a cause (charity).
races and events are great ways to:
- meet people
- push yourself
- give you a goal to work towards in the future
- discover new places (some races are held in conservation areas out of town, others in small towns you've likely never visited)...
- combine a race with travel (run the Rome Iceland Marathon )
- compete in places you'll never likely find yourself - the New York City Marathon goes thru Harlem )...
