    Perfect! That's truckin' music. Only problem is it's too short. Song needs to be about 200 miles, or I guess 3 hours.

    They aren't talking about the 80's and 90's. Read the OP..
    BTW you don't need to waste your words telling me what it was like then .. I was driving then .. and to be honest the garbage haulers laid down some miles .. but not like the crowd I ran with
    So yes you probably ran with a different crowd than I did & still do
    I really doubt you can educate me about running hard
    Just saying

    It’s obvious I can’t educate you on being a blow hard. You’ve got that down pretty good.

    Once in a truck stop, I heard a big fat young waitress tell the other waitresses who too were fat, but not buffarilla’ish like her that she was on a diet. Guess what they did? They (3 of them) grabbed her favorite dessert, sat beside her and ate until she broke. Why??? Because if she lost pounds, there would be a new fattest girl in the restaurant. “I don’t have to level up, I just have to keep you fatter than me.”

    Every time I’ve seen someone attempt to make serious changes in their life, it’s their friends and workmates that sabotage them. The drivers around you know how to push your buttons, so, if you try to level up your A Game, they’re going to try to knock you down. Do you have a plan?

    Some moments of the day are sacred. Don’t rush through them, and it calms the day.

    Running hard in the upper plains will net a different result than running hard in New England....are miles really the best measuring stick?
