I ran 3.5 kms yesterday. I just needed to do that 11 more times and I'd have ran a marathon. Easy-peasy.
900m to the next aid station is not "almost a km", it's only "a little more than half a mile".
Ran 14 kms? That's not, "only 1/3 of the way". It's, "Ok, just do that two more times".
It's not, "10 kms left". It's, "Just a Sun Run left".

So Grand is going to compete in Muddler next year and is asking if anyone wants to join his team. I would pay to watch Nat compete.

You don't compete... you complete.
Nat: DO IT!

Then you might take 1 week to complete, so have to make it a competition for you.

Tys, Joel, and I are joining Carson's team. Probably Dunc too cuz I like to volunteer him for stuff. We are registering this weekend. Anyone else want in? It's a beginner team so there is no pressure to perform, just to finish.
That's what "insert name here" said she ever expects now anyway.
