Just tellin it like it is wrote:
If he had a real business job I would agree with his sentiment. But he had a cushy government desk job. Where he received a steady income, had low expectations consistent, and low hours.
Now he’ll have the pressure of running be his one source of income. Along with having lots of free time which is not always the best thing. One tends to eat more and do things that inhibit recovery.
I hope him the best but I doubt he will run a pr in the thon. If anything with all the time he has now it would be great to see him do more ultras and break those records.
No that's a bum. Maybe what you'd do.
Someone who takes its seriously, coming from a culture of taking everything as seriously as you can - to be the best - might have more willpower to not throw that away.
