What can YOU say in six sentences?
Sibling Rivalry
My older sister is a runner too. She ran at the same college as I did, in the same events, but she was always faster than me.
I used to think I would beat her someday, if I just trained a little harder or ate a little better or slept a little longer. But the years ticked by, and I was down to only two races left, with more than 10 seconds to cut in a race that lasts less than 5 minutes.
But in the first race, I cut off 9 seconds!
The next race, I tanked; but my sister was there, cheering me on, trying to help me beat her.

I do love my siblings. they are so wonderful.
side note of interest: my blog post "My Addiction" was written the day after that second to last race, where I ran incredibly well. now you understand why I was so thrilled with the idea of racing...

The final sentence says something about sisterhood that could not be said any other way.

My (older) brother used to beat me regularly. He learned technique from my old man. Even to this day, I cringe when I think of either one of them.
