In fact, you won't even feel that the entire duration of quote unquote climb three.

Why?

Well, because even during climb three, there are these little 10 second stretches where the ground flattens and it creates this tiny reprieve, a gift.

And you might laugh and go, 10 seconds, that's nothing.

It's more than enough for your body to reset.

Like, funny enough, 10 seconds is an eternity.

It's enough to catch your breath.

It's enough to, you know, get yourself together as you give your feet, your legs the gift of running on flat ground for a few seconds.

It gives you everything you need to carry on.

And all runs are like that.

You know, it's not necessarily pain until the end.

It's pain until the next reprieve.

And there's a giant difference between the two things.

You just need to make it to the flat ground, which is there and will arrive sooner than you think.

And every time life feels too hard,

Similarly, there's always a reprieve, always a patch of earth that flattens out, always a singular moment to breathe.

And so the power in being able to put your faith in those moments is life-changing.

Let the course take care of the rest.

And the next day, I was talking to my videographer, Brandon, about this metaphor.

I realized this running yesterday.
