It's all about starting

---

For years I said to myself I need to start writing. It's been a long process, it's really hard for me to start things.

I remember seeing this documentary on a crazy endurance run created in New Zealand, it's called Backyard Ultra Marathon. The run is all about endurance but mostly mental strengh and persistence, here's a brief description:

A backyard ultra event is a unique ultramarathon race that typically takes place on a looped course, usually in a backyard or other small, contained space. The race format involves runners completing a loop of a set distance, often a mile or a kilometer, within a certain time limit, usually one hour.

At the end of each loop, runners must be ready to start the next loop again when the clock starts for the next hour. This means the runners must manage their pace and energy levels carefully to ensure they have enough time to complete each loop within the time limit.

The event continues in this format until only one runner remains, or until no runner can complete a full loop within the time limit. This format makes the backyard ultra event unique in that it is not a race against other runners but rather a race against the clock and oneself.

The creator, Lazarus Lake, says the hard part is not to run 100km+, it's to always get up and going to the start line, every hour.

I've delayed this way too long. It's been on my mind for a long time, to create a place for my thoughts - good, bad or even incomplete. I want to start writing more and also collect better my ideas.

This is it the start of something that has no shape on my mind.
