I had a question under the comment section where is was asked what fatigues on me first and what type of shoes do i prefer. Also, do i like lightweight over cushion. So here are my responses...
On long runs the first thing to fatigue is my mind, seriously, followed by my feet. My mind will play tricks on me so quickly when i run that literally it constantly tries to pursuade me that failing is the best option. When running trails and roads at the same time i use Nike Pegasus, this is probably my favorite shoe but it wears out so fast on me. When running roads i use Brooks Adrenaline 6s but i have heard they work great on trails too, and when i run technical trails i use La Sportiva. I prefer support over cushion.

I keep thinking about 100 miles....at one time.....in less then 24hrs....is it possible for me?

What do you do when the odds are stacked so high against you that winning seems impossible. What do you do with adversity? Have you ever stood before a giant with a sling and a stone? Have you ever hit "the wall"? It doesn't need to be running but at anything in life? Do you run from challenges or towards them? Giving up is so easy and honestly is so much more practical. Guess what.....the decisions you make right now will/can effect the rest of your life.
