winning

Polar Princess and I have been discussing the nature of 'winning'.

What does winning mean to you?

PP (Jill) says: "...it is also interesting to see how focused runners are on time - that generally being the measure of 'winning'.

"For an all-arounder like me, the winning is much more internal - the competition comes from within and against myself - it is more about the process itself and the act of running than fitting into a particular time/space :-)"

I've said: "I'm a masters athlete. I DID win one race outright last year, but normally I am running with the idea of 'feeling the speed'. Sounds similar to what you are after; I am very kinesthetic that way, so I am seeking a particular quality of feeling.
