[RC] goals - Sylmadden

Years ago, when I was doing a lot of running and marathons (yes, if you look at me now you would never believe it) I was asked by a friend how I had "done".  I told him I had a "good time" meaning I laughed, talked, high fived all the kids, danced with the police, even did the beer stop at mile 23 which, of course, almost dropped me to my knees.  He, however, could not get past the reality that it had taken me all damn day to finish the thing and that I had not, in fact, had a "good time" chronologically.  Some people will always have the goal of placing well and winning awards,  and some will always gauge by their "good time, and sometimes, you even get both.
