00:00I don't think struggle is something that we should shy away from.
00:09Without struggle, we won't be able to appreciate the good in life.
00:15Did you read it?
00:18Or do you remember it from school?
00:27Ultra running, I didn't think that I would ever do it.
00:32I thought those people were crazy.
00:36But, I got the bug.
00:49The big one coming up is Western States 100.
00:56It is the first 100 miler in the U.S.
01:01Feels like maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity.
01:06I definitely don't want to set a bad example for my daughter.
01:11Because I don't ever want her to see me quit.
01:14There's doubt, for sure.
01:17No, I don't know. None of that. None of that.
01:21This is Western States!
01:24Running 100 miles is not necessarily good because of the bug.
01:29We all agree with that.
01:31It is not something that is generally good to do to yourself.
01:34Yeah, Mom! Woo! Woo!
01:38Woo!
01:50The dark place that we often enter is similar to that feeling that we experience in the struggles in our life.
02:00I think about my family and my little sister.
02:04She couldn't ever walk.
02:06She could have easily given up.
02:08And she just fought through.
02:18It's one step at a time.
02:20And when things start to get hard, you're not going backwards.
02:24You're going forward.
02:27Yeah.
02:32Literally like NASCAR.
02:34Like, eh, eh, eh, eh.
02:36Ow.
