"Of course he wanted to win. Those who saw him compete and those who competed against him were never in any doubt how much he wanted to win. But how he won mattered to him more. Pre thought I was a hard case. But he finally got it through my head that the real purpose of running isn't to win a race. It's to test to the limits of the human heart. That he did... Nobody did it more often. Nobody did it better."

Hills at Elm Bank! The circuit loops definitely are useful--they seem to add more of a cardio component as well to the strength aspect of it. Very nice weather--blue skies, minimal wind, mid40s. Race next week!
I like the quotation, but I do think the goal is to win races at least sometimes!
