Instead, keep my personal life, goals, and accomplishments in the foreground. I’ve lived by that concept. When things get tough at work, it’s time to set some new personal goals and explore new adventures. That’s why I am currently in the process of planning a personal dream of backpacking a 100 mile stretch of the Pacific Coast Trail in the Sierra Nevada’s, solo. “It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves – in finding themselves” Andre Gide

No better way to let off steam from the stress of an office job than by hammering out some clicks on the roads.

Also with these sorts of events, the only way to actually make yourself seriously contemplate canoeing 500 miles, running 50plus miles, etc is by signing up! Sign up, pay the fee, and think about it later…you will not regret it!

If anyone fancies the Comdrades Marathon next May in South Africa (56 miler, the best ultra in the world by all accounts) then email me: ejplayfair@gmail.com. The event is supposed to be booked up but i’ve been offered a route in to it via a back door! I may be able to help. Go on…join me…commit…let’s do it!
