I watched the dvd "the distance of truth" http://www.thedistanceoftruth.com/ and it left me feeling inspired. A quote from the movie:
"One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation." - Sir Walter Scott
The Badwater Ultramarathon (www.badwater.com) is known as the toughest footrace on earth. The race is 135 miles from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney in temperatures of 130 degreesF. "the distance of truth" follows a Canadian ultramarathoner, Ferg Hawke as he competes against some of the greats, Dean Karnazes (http://www.ultramarathonman.com) and Pam Reed - the first human to run 300 miles straight without sleep.
This dvd makes me think, "Have I done enough?"
