NSV: not the slowest!!!

Working with my PT yesterday, and he had designed a circuit that he's been getting several of his clients to do including various lifts, squats with weights, push ups, shuttle runs and jumps. One of the lifts particularly was a killer, and I did think I was never going to get to the end of it, never mind finish the circuit! However I did - lots of sweat, a bit of bad language, and a minor freak out but I did. Afterwards he told me that other people had done the circuit in times from 7 and a half minutes to over 12. The person who did 7 and a half is a class leader at the gym, someone else did just over 8 but really struggled with the push ups. I was 9 minutes - and he complimented me on my push ups!!!!!! I know its not about being better than anyone else, just my own fitness, but as the person who was always last in PE at school, it feel really good to not be the slowest!
