no excuses, just results

...thats what my HS coach used to always tell me when doing speed workouts.

So yesterday I go out for a quick 6 miler.  About 2 miles my right knee starts to really ache.  It's the same knee I fractured in college. At mile 2.25 I see another runner headed my way and from a distance it looks like he is lumbering a bit.  But when he gets closer I realize his lumber or limp is because he has a mechanical left leg from the knee down.

I immediately start to realize my knee ache isnt that bad. 

No excuses, just results! 

I see this same guy again as he is doing an out and back run like me. When I see things like this I also realize there is no reason for me not to accomplish my ultra marathon goal, short of injury in training or the race.
