I have been running for a while. I talk so often about how much I like running that I think that prompted my coworkers to start running as well. They're now running regularly and getting into some races.

I am pretty well trained, so I can go faster and longer than any of them. But they're all about 20 years younger than me. I am very conflicted about the fact that in just 6 months or so they'll be passing me - running faster and likely longer. I'm happy/proud for them, for sure, but also a bit hurt if I'm being honest.

I'm not competitive against other people so I don't care in that sense, it's just that improving is so hard for me at this level. It's hard to reach one's limits I suppose.
