Reflecting on Sunday's marathon:
I am making no attempt to project these current thoughts on/toward all runners.
I love to run fast and place high as much as anyone. Yet, the purpose of the race resides in testing one's mind, body and soul in training and race day execution.

This includes doing one's best in traveling over the given course, on foot, as fast as possible on race day through the given weather, course conditions, physical challenges or mental battles one encounters during this time.
Obviously prudence exempts extreme factors that remain undetailed in this comment.
Typically this approach yields an acceptable time and place relative to our preparation. Certainly not always.
Quitting, other than health issues, arises out of attempting to salvage our Pride and Ego which transform the Time and/or Place into Idols.
Pride and Ego oppose God, as do the Idols of Time and Place.
Racing, and everything in life, mandates seeking to obediently serve God along with praising Him and striving to glorify God through the process, in spite of ourselves.
Time and Place goals, like all goals, are good as long as we keep them subservient to God.
Running on Faith ==> Seek God, Do Your Best, Trust God!
Running on Faith in Christ!
