Come time to deliver I know I have to face these people with my results. Helps me push harder.<br /><br />I am working on dropping the ego in small groups though, esp. at the pool.<br /><br />I am right there with the active recovery belief. My legs feel great after a hard run with an easy spin in small ring. So simple, yet so effective.Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272746327697367079.post-81344847737815838102011-04-21T12:00:19.779-04:002011-04-21T12:00:19.779-04:00Thanks for the great post!Thanks for the great post!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335001280807576664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272746327697367079.post-65580426808199064582011-04-21T11:21:37.114-04:002011-04-21T11:21:37.114-04:00Great post!

I agree, no one wants to hear how awesome they are or fast. I do not hang out or train with these people.
