“The sole reason I work out like I do isn’t to prepare for and win ultra races.  I don’t have an athletic motive at all.  It’s to prepare my mind for life itself.  Life will always be the most grueling endurance sport, and when you train hard, get uncomfortable, and callous your mind, you will become a more versatile competitor, trained to find a way forward no matter what.  Because there will be times when the sh*t life throws at you isn’t minor at all.  Sometimes life hits you dead in the f*cking heart.” ~ David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me
