Whose the Athlete?

Today I did a swim warm up and a set of Total Immersion Drills. Then followed that with 500x 4 set.
But last night.....
So I was running on the indoor track with an old guy. Allright, two old guys were running on the indoor track. When you run on our indoor track there is a portion of the run that overlooks an indoor training field.
When we started a girl's field hockey team was finishing up practice---and we were running. Then the local arena football team came in for practice--Strolling along, wandering in. Practice starts with a couple of drills that were completely unorganized--and we were running.
Then they run a few laps at a snails pace and with zero focus---and we keep running.
Next they run a few plays with only half the team paying attention--and we keep running.
Finally they run the 50 yard field together and at the end applaud their team spirit---and we keep running.
Slowly they wander off the field and head home---and we keep running.
Now one group of athletes will play in an arena, get press coverage and maybe even do a dance in the end zone---and we will keep running.
