[RC] LDs - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

Lately I've been thinking I'll start entering the local "fun" runs/walks.  This 
whole LD discussion has me wondering if I'll see my name on the same list as 
the marathon runners.  You don't think so?  Is it because 6K ISN'T a marathon?  
The same as LD ISN'T endurance?  A 6K is a 6K, nothing more or less.  LD is LD, 
nothing more or less.  I'll be proud when I cross the 6K finish line but I will 
still know that I'm not a marathoner.  When I start my very green horse on her 
first LD next spring, I'll still know that she did not finish an endurance 
ride.  Will I be any less proud of her?  No.  I'll just know that there is a 
difference & comparing LD to endurance is the same as comparing a 6K to a 
marathon.  THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.  Whatever I do, I will enjoy, have fun, & 
know that I did what I set out to do.  But I will also be realistic about what 
I've done.
