push through

Today a friend and I jumped on some treadmills at 4:45am and ran 22 miles.  If you ever are crazy enough to do something like this, you learn a couple things:
1. Treadmills shut off automatically after 1 hour and you have to restart it.
2. After watching ESPN through 2x's, it loses it's luster.
3. It's what being crazy must feel like: You run like a mad man and get nowhere.
4. The longer you are on there, the louder your body begins to scream.

The reason is….(and I'm going public with it for accountability) I am running a 100 mile race in August.   You have 30 hours to do it in.  It will no doubt be the farthest I have pushed myself yet and only time will tell how it plays out.
