Well told. <br /><br />I ran a marathon at 17 and pushed past the wall at mile 20. ANyone who has done that gets it. The remaining 6 miles were sheer force of will. Also Army basic training. <br /><br />We're about the same age, btw. I've been going to the gym for about five years now... of late I've slacked - still go 3-4 times a week, but my workouts have gotten lackadaisical. Haven't lifted to muscle failure in at least three months. Reading this post ensures that I go balls to the wall once again.PAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-31815900620587723572012-11-10T07:12:44.825-08:002012-11-10T07:12:44.825-08:00Epic stuff, Keoni.

I've never seen one 'Gym Rat' yet who could do more than 3-4 hours of strenous manual labor without wearing out.<br /><br /> As you mentioned with martial arts, the old-school Chinese masters used to put recruits to about six months of hard manual labor to build up their endurance before they even let them begin training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-52712114580830992112012-11-07T22:31:31.305-08:002012-11-07T22:31:31.305-08:00Great story.

I experienced something similar (although nowhere near as gruelling by the sounds of it) when I ran a marathon a couple of years back.<br /><br />I'd foolishly only run 8 miles in training, thinking I'd breeze through it. And I did - up until about mile 16, when my body fell apart. Agony in every muscle, cramps, both soles of my feet just two giant blisters. Nothing except sheer grit and bloody mindedness saw me through til the end, whilst around me many people who had trained harder than me dropped like flies.<br /><br />Once across the line, I was physically unable to take another step. But the feeling of having been tested, and come through it, will always be cherished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
