I told you a story once about being on that treadmill and you've got that cramp in your, in your foot, but you said you was going to do the 10 miles. So you've got a limp on that treadmill for as long as you have to, to complete the task. No one's around, no one's watching. But you keep your ass on that treadmill and you get through it.
