The Race

Today I saw one of my disciples running, about 200 metres ahead of me. Then my ego came forward and I said, "Just because her husband defeats me, that doesn't mean that she will defeat me."
 
So I ran past her, and then I ran practically 200 metres more.
 
Afterwards, a policeman smiled at me and spoke to me in Spanish.
