And I remember that after I had run a marathon,
I took a break for like a few weeks and then I got back on the trail and I began running.
And I was like, you know, I don't need to warm up for three or four weeks up to like get back into speed, right?
And I remember that I started to feel like that my right, the soul of my right foot was a little bit like bothering me, like almost imperceptible.
And I was like, no, you know, you just have to keep going, you know.
My wife Elaine told me like, you know, you should pay attention, take a break, you know, and I just kept running.
And I remember specifically that one time I went to run and say like, I can put in 80 miles.
I think that I was running at like seven minutes, 7.15 a mile or something like that.
And I began running.
And then I, after a mile, I was feeling pumped, you know, two miles, three miles.
I was like, and then I usually will go and do four miles and then turn around and come back.
I got on mile four and I fell crack and I could not walk anymore.
there was a hair fracture that is almost imperceptible in an x-ray, but, boy, that you cannot move your foot anymore.
I had to limp for four miles all the way back to the car because I didn't even have my phone.
And I never forgot that for next time, you got to pay attention to your body, you know.
Your body is simply telling you, like, something is a little bit off.
Just don't keep pushing it, you know.
And I specifically remember because I kept running and like, clack.
And I had to literally limp all the way back to the car.
So, Andrew, I want to say a few things.
