MM2 - remember the reply that any git makes to impugn our skills:
'I may be slow, but you are ugly and I can train harder.'

“Common sense is necessary … more so than high tech. Race to the finish not race from the start, pace yourself, run your own race and don’t get sucked into someone else’s, walk when you need too, run when you can, eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we will hurt.” -Kevin Sayers

“For what is the point of training but making pain seem routine? You work the body, yes, but the real point of training is to accustom the mind to endure discomfort: to know it, tolerate it and even, finally, to like it.”

There are no limits.
There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
If it kills you, it kills you.
A man must constantly exceed his level.

Mike, 2 basic facts !
No 1 : you need to be a hard bastard to finish this race
No 2 : you are a wimp if you cant !
Apart from being hit by Space Junk,Death or Life threatening injury you have no excuse not to finish.

Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called 'the love of your fate'. Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, 'This is what I need.' It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment - not discouragement - you will find the strength is there. Any disaster that you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You'll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes." (Joseph Campbell 1904-87, American writer, anthropologist and philosopher

"If you are going to win any battle, you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do... the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.
Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
