But I didn't have that two years ago when I, when I raced it and was able to get that record, it was just, um, you know, I had to just trust and, uh, pray that my body could, could fight it one mile at a time, not think about the whole picture, just break it into bite-sized chunks.

Well, it worked out for you.

I'm not one of those runners.

I don't need X amount of miles.
