Under some circumstances, 6 inches might as well be a parsec. Like when someone is on the verge of falling off the side of a cliff, and you just can't reach them?
And what's 3 1/4 miles to a strange sort of sanctuary, when all has fallen apart? Especially when you can't necessarily drive it. I used to be able to run that in a half hour 18 years ago, but I got old, and fat, and lazy. Hey! I was only a dilettante runner. I wasn't out to break records. I did if because I enjoyed it, and I didn't consider it a 'job'. I'd run 3 or 4 times a week at my best.
Actually, I ended up just too busy to work out. Averaging 55 hours a week on the job, then running all my non-driving room mates around, doing all the errands, and another unpaid job that I ain't gonna tell you about wore me out.
GODS, I WAS SOOOOOO STUPID IN THOSE DAYS!!!!!!!!!! Acting the doormat due to ego. How many days did I only get 2 hours of sleep? Day after day after day after day, then crash and burn on a rare day off for 18 hours or so. I was living with continuous headaches, and it was a bitch; but I'm making up for that time now.
NEVER AGAIN WILL I BE SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!
