RIGHT? I was watching her story on ESPN and i was thinking "cmon, how is this possible" and it really comes down to will. Just like horses, i think there are a LOT of humans who are essentially sheep, they have no heart, no will and no intestinal fortitude, it just wasnt bred into them and they werent raised to have any kind of burning desire to be great at something, so it is rare when you have someone like this who brings the word "will" to an entirely different level. There's will, there's super-will and then there's this girl.

I like to consider myself someone with heart, intestinal fortitude, guts and all that stuff, but when i see this, it sort of cuts me down to size and makes me realize i'm essentially a 98 lb weakling in the big scheme of things, i look at this situation and think if i was in her shoes, it wouldn't even dawn on me that any of this was possible.

Forget about actually accomplishing this stuff, it would never even occur to me to try in the first place.
