Daughter comes home from XC meet.
Daughter PR’d at the 5k distance, but was 2 seconds short of a time goal.
Daughter is very upset.
Daughter is upset in that fashion that is somewhat special to teenage daughters.
Mother listens emphatically to daughter.
Mother after listening a while asks , “I am sorry dear. But it is just 2 seconds. And you PR’d. Why are you so upset about 2 seconds?”
Daughter gets more upset.
Mother (also wife) looks at me and says, “is it normal for runners to worry about 2 second like this?”
I nod.
Wife shakes head and mutters something intelligible.
