the race is not to the speedy...

"The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all." - that's from the Bible, Ecclesiastes 9:11

Janene, who ran a meritorious 2:17 Bush Capital 25k on Saturday, went to the track on Sunday and "had a great track debut for 2010/11. Slipped and fell into steeplechase pit as entering the stadium! Seriously swollen, painful and unhappy calf muscle now..." Not good! May you be fully well soon.
