When I started running, those last miles seemed (and sometimes still seem) so long and arduous, but this year I’ve been able to look at them with more perspective. Compared to the marathon, mile 15 is barely a thing. If I could come in at a 7:45 at mile 26, why not anything else? What couldn’t I do?

It’s learning to recognize the feeling of fatigue and then dismiss it. If you’ve been there enough, it becomes less daunting and more familiar. I thought of the elite runners who burn out instead of always running a steady pace.

It all comes down to how bad you want it. You can make all the excuses you want but at the end of the day you’re the one putting in the work and you know how much you have or haven’t done. If you haven’t done enough, fucking do more. If you’ve done enough, push harder and do a little more.

You want something bad enough nothing is going to stop you from doing it. No excuses.

Damn straight.
