A wise man will re-evaluate his choices once he reached his limit.
(1) It was about time that I reached my treadmill limit – a limit of speed that I could not breach on my first attempt, after a series of steady increase that have seen me running from the speed of 6.0 km/hour to 9.2 km/hour in less then a month.
