Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever. Lance Armstrong
(this is what drags me up all the hills... my personal chant...

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

I live by that Lance quote, (which some credit to The Marines) and also "It never always gets worse." Without those two things, I'd be DNF'ing all the time!!

... whereas I can maybe see managing the first, although at my speed, those rocks might actually get so bored they'd get up and move by the time I passed them.

Now 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 will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But
the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the
mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired...You've
always got to make the mind take over and keep going.

"Executive summary: It was fun. It was beautiful. It was challenging, no,
strike that, it was hard. It went reasonably well for about 65 miles. Then it
got ugly. Then it got very ugly. Then it got stupefying, Bataan death march,
lurching, staggering, crying-for-yo'-mama-in-the-middle-of-the-night ugly. That
went on for several more hours and then I finished . . . ." John
