Once you have a scary incident like that, you really take it to heart. In most cases learning something essen-tial in life requires physical pain. Since that incident on the bike, no matter how tired I might be I always keep my head up and I my eyes on the road ahead.- P140
I expect that this winter I‘ll run another marathon some-where in the world. And I‘m sure come next summer I‘ll be out in another triathlon somewhere, giving it my best shot. Thus the seasons come and go, and the years pass by. I‘ll age one more year, and probably finish another novel. One by one, I‘ll face the tasks before me and complete them as best I can. Focusing on each stride forward, but at the same time taking a long-range view, scanning the scenery as far ahead as I can. I am, after all, a long-distance runner,- P173
