Just outta curiosity...what was your 880? I ran the 800 and my fastest was I think 2:08
I don't remember,that was many moons ago. I just remember the gym teacher said I'd beat it by a few seconds. About 1/4 of it I just jogged because I was so far ahead of everybody.

X2... My real regret is getting crushed in the press in 06. I haven't been the same since.

The regrets,  depends on I what you've done in your life . We all got them ghost or Skeletons in the closet as they say .  Dealing  With them is sometimes a lil hard then most people  . Human nature and the way we feel about things  is so different between us all .

Some of us carry the burden to teach ourselfs and others , to remind ourselfs that there can be a better life outside the past , but that you shouldnt forget also . “For the past can repeat itself” most of us are  secretive about our life's and only show what makes us look good to others . Then there's people like me and others like myself that are a open book . If someone can learn from my hard life lessons then what I went through is worth it to better people and Society as a whole, even if it's one person at a time . If I help play a role in saving a fellow addicts life ,then what I feel and what I went through and making it so far again was worth it

I thought of you several times during this thread, seems like pain per complain your ratio is somewhat lower than most people. I don't hear you talk a lot about your accident, you travel on as best you can under the circumstances.

Thanks Jim. I try. I can't let it run my life. I see it as Gods plan and I have to deal & live with it.
