Push the threshold

the guitar rhythms on this song that thunder throughout do a good job of relating the idea of 'threshold', going to the limit and staying there... holding it... enjoying it.

for me, this is a challenge... something i am determined to get really good at.

as a long distance runner, i'm particularly interested in how much physical pain i can endure in one session, or a period of sessions.

and as i find success in going harder, longer, stronger, i'm becoming a bit obsessed with testing the limits of my own body.

breaking through pain, chasing that high. yes... that's the driving force... the high, but through it i learn a whole lot about myself that i didn't know previously.

i'm fucking addicted to it.

and the longer i can hold it -- pushing, driving, embracing the threshold -- the more high i get.

and those fucking ultras are winking at me from the corner of the room, hiking up their skirts.

fuckers.
