“If you have the time, then yeah, definitely get one of those runs to be a little bit longer. But you don't need to be taking off for five hours. I know, lots of us have kids. And that seems impossible.” — Hilary Spires [0:05:18]
“We're all capable of so much. But we don't often push ourselves that much in life anymore. We don't get to get to the edge of our comfort zone, because everything we need is right around us.” — Hilary Spires [0:11:11]
