This was you!? Great job. Two thoughts I had while reading it. One, I stopped and re read and contemplated how discouraging "the middle fifth" of a 50 mile run sounds. This takes the malaise of not-even-being-halfway-done something to a whole new level. Two, I admire and think I can identify with you when you say the idea of quitting never seriously occurred to you. I feel that way about the program I'm in, where I'm a team leader to a group of ten, 18-24 year old, ungrateful, difficult, smelly, endearing boys and girls from all over the US. One of our instructors, an ultra marathon runner, said to me, Max, it ain't a sprint, but a marathon. Preach. Thanks previouslyO
