"You will never come up against a greater adversary than your own potential."
I was watching Star Trek today, as I often do, when this quote came up. It hit me and it hit me hard. The excitement, the nervousness, and--sure--a feeling close to terror. We're going to Nationals! We're leaving tomorrow!
I don't know what our own potential is as a team. In some ways running Panic feels very comfortable, predictable. Yet sometimes I feel like we both have things inside us that we haven't discovered yet. We are still constantly evolving separately and together. I've said before that I'm very glad that Panic is my dog, but he's not my dog, not really. He's his own dog through and through. I don't think we will ever totally figure one another out. It's just too bad that dogs don't live as long as people. I'd be fine to spend the rest of my life learning about this one dog. There is so much being said in those eyes.
I can't seem to write a blog post lately without getting sentimental. I guess that comes from being away so often. But I'm here now, and we're leaving for Tulsa tomorrow, and that's pretty freakin' awesome and I'm really really excited to play the game and hang out with so many cool people (and dogs).

"Your attitude toward your potential is either the key or the lock on the door of personal fulfillment."
"Adversary" sounds like a lock, don't you think? Don't limit yourself and Panic that way.
Have a great weekend :)
