My boyfriend is good friends with a woman I've never met. I don't have a problem with this - she seems pretty awesome. She's run Boston. She heli-skis. She routinely takes cycling vacations to ride major cycling race stages. You name it, I'd love to do it (if I had her salary and vacation time).

I've finally pieced things together and figured out that they used to date pretty seriously. Also not a problem, I'm good friends with a couple of my exes. But I'm kind of stuck on the fact that everything athletic we both do, she's WAY better at. And days like today, when my back is screaming and arguing with even mild exercise, I start comparing, and dwelling on things, and wondering what on earth I have to offer. My boyfriend is a sweetheart and has been so supportive of my athletic accomplishments and I know he's sincere, but I need to figure out how to get this out of my head and I don't know how. I've never been all that competitive about running or biking or whatever but I feel like I have to find something I'm good at. Better at. Ugh. Any help?
