I went to a boarding school where this fat little 15 year old (me) was told he had to participate in a 40 mile snowshoe race. I am going to tell you what I told myself and have kept in my head since.
I can't picture what 40 miles completed looks like. The concept of it is too large, it's too much to think I can do it when I have never done anything like it before. What I can do though, is take one step. Then I can take one more...
