I just stumbled upon this, and if you've got a few minutes, it's completely worth the read.

Wow. That was very cool, thank you for sharing Nevels - it was no LR, but it was a good read nonetheless ;-).

Thanks for sharing that blog. It was a great read while sitting at work during lunch.

THAT WAS GOOD!!!! I have, of course, experienced the wall. And even though I have never run an ultra I think I have experienced the pit on just regular training runs and the darn treadmill. I am hoping to one day find the abyss!!!

I can answer the question of why I do what I do, though. I always say the same thing: BECAUSE I CAN!
