And I do a lot of stuff with homelessness and wanted to align the two and ended up finishing it in 12 and a half days, which throughout the period, throughout that time, I don't think I've ever felt as much pain as I did in that 12 and a half days.

Yeah, it was, a lot of people ask that, like the, what's the physical side of things versus what's the mental preparation? I think, you know, obviously, as I said, I didn't get the record, so I didn't, probably wasn't physically prepared enough, but I don't think I will be forever. another 15, 20 years. And that's why.

Of course, of course. And that's like, that's the game. But I feel like at 25, you're somewhat relatable to younger people and also older people. And it's not really running for me. That's the thing. It's just running is the tool I use to feel what I feel. And I have almost an ability to get people to watch, I guess. And so I can then push what I want to push by doing that.

Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Cause I don't like, even before the Oz run, right. The run across Australia, I didn't really know why I was doing it.
