I had an exceptional run and of course the best part of it was the fact that I predicted it and I can now tell the truth of it. My intent was to do 30 km and ended up at 35 in 3 hours and 12 minutes. But the most gratifying part was that it was almost effortless. I truly could have run a marathon today. I wasn't any faster than last time but it's not about speed, but rather endurance anyway. Of course the faster you go the less you have to endure I suppose eh? But today was just great confirmation that my endurance continues to grow acceptably.
So yes, today I believe I can do an Ironman!
I wish to dedicate day 78 to Roo's neice Samantha who will not read this but who I wish knew that I admire her courage in a tough world.

And this last one which isn't relevant but blew me away when I stumbled across it....
“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."---Stephen Roberts

In the name of all that is holy - Amen.
And the quote that blew you away? I don't get it. I've read it so many times I've lost count, and still... nothing. Perhaps you can explain it to me?
Thanks, Cory, cause I don't get it either...maybe because I'm not an atheist??
I think it meens that once you understand why you yourself beleives in only your "god" and not other peoples "god" then you will understand why I do not believe in yours. Everyone believes in something that others do not, there for we are all atheists in the eyes of those who do not believe in ours.
I may be totally off point here, but I like my explanation just the same.
