It's that mindset that it does push you and you have to have those tricks of how do you get through it and I'll share one other. So as I mentioned, one of the things I had to do is I had to run four 30 mile runs in a row. And so, you know, Saturday get up, run 30 Sunday run 30, Monday 30 Tuesday, Thursday . 30. And so Monday I'm running 30 miles and I'm 10 miles into it. So I've already done 70 miles over the last two days and my legs are tired and it's hot. It's August in California. It's kinda one of the hotter times of the year. I'm, I'm miserable, I'm hot, I'm tired, I'm whining, I'm complaining to myself inside, and I'm out by myself. And I thought a friend of mine was going through breast cancer. And as I'm whining to myself about how my legs are sore, I started to put things in perspective and I find this is a great way to look at things is put it into perspective, I am voluntarily doing this.

 I in about, less than an hour could be home, sitting on a couch drinking something cold, and my legs in a day or so are not gonna hurt anymore. The pain will be gone. She was not voluntarily going through it. Her pain was gonna last a lot longer and she had no choice. And once I started thinking through that, I realized it's like, you know, Brian, you just need to stop whining and move, what you're going through

yeah it's hard. But you're voluntarily doing it and so how do you put things in perspective, can help you get through some of those more challenging times.
