Ahead of Many Walkers

Today in the two-mile race, to my great joy, I went ahead of many walkers. Four or five times I passed people who had been ahead of me. I was going beyond them, and such divine joy was coming to the fore in me!

Then again, my first mile timing would have been better if some people with their grandchildren had not been blocking me. And during my second mile, a group of seventeen or eighteen students was blocking the street. I could not walk! They had come with their teacher. They had their notebooks, and the teacher was telling them something. Then there was water on the course. At least seven to ten seconds per mile I definitely lost.

When there is no obstruction, I like to walk in our two-mile races!
