“Yeah, something about me, I've always been up for a challenge and I've always worked out my whole life. So, you know, lifting in the gym has been something I've always worked out my whole life. And, uh, I've been pretty, pretty decently strong in the gym, but I never really took on running. And last summer I had a buddy of mine that told me, he said, Hey, I'm going to turn 38 years old. This is on June 3rd of last year. He says, Hey, in six weeks, I'm going to turn 38 years old to celebrate on my birthday. I'm going to go on a 38 mile run. And I knew he wasn't like this huge runner. So I'm thinking, man, if you could do it, shoot like I want to do it, too. And he was further along in his running journey than I was. And he's a good friend of mine and we're pretty competitive. So basically from that point on, I had six weeks to train.”
