“You remember that all difficult things come to an end. You focus on the ending, and then you can take anything.”- Dave Groggins, SO1 (SEAL Operation First Class)
Dave Groggins is probably one of the more elite extreme athletes in the world today. He's a triathlete, having done Ironman, but in 2006 he finished second overall in the Ultraman Triathlon. This event covers nearly twice that of Ironman (6.2 mile swim, 261.4 mile bike and 52.4 mile run). During the run he averaged sub-8:30 miles- for all 52 miles. Your jaw may have dropped reading those distances (mine too), but it's possible. Anything is possible. We're all capable of so much more than the limits we think we know.
His quote above is taken from an interview where he was discussing how he made it through the intense Navy SEAL training. I think those words are applicable to tomorrow. Definitely.
Run hard.
