Jesus. Are you kidding me? It's a metaphor, kid. Messner explained why anyone does anything for themselves. Not for the time, not for the money, not for the fame, but for the spirit. If you can't appreciate that in the context of your 140 mile weeks, I feel sorry for you.
How is that going, by the way?
Yea. I was telling myself "There's like 5 minutes left in this video, I don't think the guy was being literal." ha. But I understand what you were saying. And about the 140, so far it's going good. Not shooting straight to 140 till next week. This week will be ~110 or so after last week was a taper/race end of season week of 57 miles. Now I have a final to go take!
