It’s been a great week. A week full of great achievements; none of which were mine. Months or years ago this would have bothered me; the jealously driven PB monster would have reared it’s ugly head, biting hard and deep.

Now I find myself standing back to watch and appreciate the look of sheer delight as a client achieved their goal, something they had thought impossible only a few months ago, but agreed to ‘try’. They tried, and tried again until they ‘did’. Although their sights had originally been set on racing to achieve their goal, they came to see that it was only through their continued efforts and willingness to keep trying to ‘climb’ that they were able to ‘summit’ and reach their goal. Having achieved their goal, they almost immediately set a new goal, keen to begin the next climb, now knowing they were capable of far more than they had originally thought.

To achieve a PB is great, but to help someone else achieve a PB is far greater (bye-bye jealousy driven PB monster)! Similarly, to have been a part of someone realising that they are capable of far more than they had thought is worth far more than any PB I will ever hit in training.
