Perseverance

Look at this guy. He's got to be in his 60s, 70s maybe?

And he's running a 13 mile race past my house on a hot day in September while I sit on my fat lardy backside and wonder about the next snack I'm going to have.

What does it take in one's mind to battle so hard that you can actually do that sort of thing? That you can go out and beat your body and its stupid desires day after day after day?

Beats me... I maybe need to start digging a little deeper...

It's all in the mind apparently. Although right now, it's mostly in my bad lazy attitude.
