"I just didn't get it. After my knee injury, I'd returned to the 5K. I pushed myself into the pain zone, puked after races, and fought my way back down to 20 minutes -- a far more satisfying feat than a four-hour marathon. I was doing all I could do, with what I still had. Yet here was a man whose legs would carry him 26 miles, and he was content to stop for walking breaks."
Are you serious? O yeah, I am sure you are. Well goody goody for you. First let me say how wonderful and superior you must think you are. Secondly, let me say, how stupid you are to the rest of us.
Leave the rest of us alone who don't want to limp or need help to the john from the stiffness and injuries. I've injured both my feet, groin muscle and hamstrings through over-training (you know, doing all I could and then some yada yada BS BS). It ain't worth it. I like walking on my own too much.
