Finding Motivation In The Face Of Difficulty · The Autistic Mile

Untitled October 21, 2026 at 03.21.10: when I ran marathons, when I ran in my racing career when I was running not professionally but when I was running X number of races per year, and especially with the marathon, some people run one marathon, they wanna run the marathon just to say you completed it. I never wanted to be the person that could just run a single marathon. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it over and over again. the quitting factor was always a big driving force for me. we all tell ourselves we're resilient. we tell ourselves we could do this, we could do that. but how often are we really tested? How often do we put ourselves to the test? for me and my running career, that was me putting my own self to the test to see if I could measure up to my own expectations. would I fold? Would I quit? when it got difficult. until you actually take that upon yourself and kinda prove that to yourself, it'll always be a question mark there. For me it was a question mark, it was a question I had to answer.
