Why do some people want to do things that jus don’t sound that pleasant or smart sometimes?   I can only speak for my self when it comes to tackling 50 miles in 24 hours in the New York mountains.   When I ask myself why a couple thoughts come to mind.

1.  I love doing new thing for the adventure of it.

2.  Being outside breathing fresh air can only be good for my NYC lungs.

3.  It’s for the preservation of an awesome nature preserve.

4.  I’m sure it will be funny.  I’m walking/running with a crew of characters (me included!) so comedy will be abundant.

5.  The excuses to eat anything I want for a couple days because of the 5000 plus calories burned.  Just pulled that number out of thin air.

6.   To see what I’m made off.

7.   To know if I ever need to migrate on food that I can make 50 miles in a day.

8.   I’m stupid!

9.   So I can say I did 50 miles in …. Hours.

10.   Because I love life experiences and I’m guessing this will be one.
