I came across the cricket last night whilst channel surfing. I am not a huge fan of the game, still psychologically scarred from fielding in the heat of the day in my youth. Having said this I respect the game and the skill involved.
As I briefly watched the game the camera shot panned to the Sri Lankan team sitting in the stands anxiously biting their nails in anticipation as their last two batsman were on the field chasing a score.
The beauty about the sport of distance running is that the individual, at the end of the day, is the one wholly responsible for the glory. To train for an event such as a Marathon and to achieve your goal, surely leaves you with a sense of personal achievement that has little comparison when compared to other Sports.
Such a great feeling.
