00:00 It's one thing to tell yourself you can do something but the empowerment that
00:06 comes with actually being able to do it
00:10 there's just nothing like it. Megan Hicks of I Run Far and I'm with Eric Sensman
00:16 it's the day before the 2018 Lake Sonoma 50 mile. My last five years of running
00:23 every single race was highly competitive. I think there was a moment this year
00:29 where I thought maybe he was gonna go for states again and that moment passed
00:34 and then soon after he was like I think I want to do Cocodona.
00:38 Alright man, so what's up? So we're about to start this race, see you in a few days man.
00:46 Finish up the flags.
00:48 250 miles. That's right.
00:50 Okay. 250 miles.
00:52 The reason I got into the sport of ultra running largely was to see how far I
00:58 could run in some in some way. They might think this sort of thing is crazy.
01:03 Any ultra seems crazy to a lot of people.
01:07 100.4 miles. Longest run ever. How about that?
01:12 150 to go, we'll be fine.
01:14 I mean I've always just been super impressed with Eric and how he kind of just takes life.
01:21 So I had an old report card recently that the teacher's little message was
01:26 Eric's a little too competitive. So that's his personality.
01:31 With the goal of only finishing, you kind of put your back up against the wall.
01:35 You have to ask yourself like can I really not take another step?
01:39 I was telling Will that it felt like I've been like trapped in this bubble for a long time.
01:50 This was like yesterday when I was high on life.
01:55 I was completely out of my mind from lack of sleep.
01:59 I was thinking about asking you guys like what's going on in the world right now?
02:08 I mean I've been in here for years.
02:12 (laughing)
