I remember when I was participating in The Rookie Triathlon, I heard someone yell out, “Way to go athletes.” I giggled to myself and thought, Athletes? I’m not an athlete. Am I?
Let’s dissect shall we?
ath·lete/ˈaTHlēt/
Noun: A person who is proficient in sports and other forms of physical exercise
For:
- I am a person
Against:
- Proficient … ehhh
Let’s dissect further…
pro·fi·cient/prəˈfiSHənt/
Adjective: Competent or skilled in doing or using something
…and further still
com·pe·tent/ˈkämpətənt/Adjective
Having the necessary ability, knowledge, or skill to do something successfully.
… and just a little bit more dissection
suc·cessful/səkˈses ful/Noun
Having a favorable outcome
Evidence Against:
10 Mile Run
- Mile 1: 10:54
- Mile 2: 10:31
- Mile 3: 10:51
- Mile 4: 10:46
- Mile 5: 10:59
- Mile 6: 10:50
- Mile 7: 10:51
- Mile 8: 10:48
- Mile 9: 10:51
- Mile 10: 12:09 -----> Stabbing pain in my knee that radiated to my ankle and has still NOT gone away
Total: 1:42:58
Average: 10:53
This is NOT favorable nor is it cool (no pun intended). Not cool at all running Gods. Not cool at all.

have you ever watched pro sports? those guys tape bags of ice to their knees after every game...put that in the FOR category :)
Being an athlete is like cooking. You simply ARE if you DO. Doesn't matter if you slave over a stove or microwave...it's still cooking. Doesn't matter if you run 10 miles at a 5:00/mile pace or you walk the whole 10...you still did. That's what makes an athlete.
