An Ultra Marathon? Are you Crazy?! Yes, as a matter fact I am..Sane is boring. Cheers!

Some may ask why I am running such long distances. There are reasons. During the ultras I come to a point where my body is almost dead. My mind has to take leadership. When it is very hard there is a war going on between the body and the mind. If my body wins, I will have to give up; if my mind wins, I will continue. At that time I feel that I stay outside of my body. It is as if I see my body in front of me; my mind commands and my body follows. This is a very special feeling, which I like very much....It is a very beautiful feeling and the only time I experience my personality separate from my body, as two different things. "
