After being accepted to enter a hard marathon only being able to enter through an acceptance letter like getting accepted to college. Goggins finished the marathon in 5th place. He was not only out of place but had been dealing with injuries but that wouldn’t stop goggins from finishing because he knew he had to prove to himself he could do it.

Goggins runs a new marathon called the Hut it’s a 100 miles of terrine in 24 hours. Even though he had training he had never trained in the terrine.

After the race Goggins knew he had to train so he started off running smaller marathons to get his resume better for the marathon he wanted to get accepted into. He ran 100 miles and even up it to 111.5 miles to train.

After surpassing the 100 miles Goggins was broken. After no practice leading to the marathon when he reached the final mark he was in bad shape. He had toe nails dangling off his feet and blood dripping down his leg. He had also went to the restroom on himself. After being told to go to the hospital he refused and instead went home. He could barley walk but managed to crawl to his tub where he startedto urinate black

At the 70th mile mark Goggins was starting to fall apart. He was battered. His feet were bad he was bloody and he had ankle fractures. At the end of the day he looked back at times where he had endured pain and passed it and used that as gas his pace started to pick up and he was on track to finishing the 100 mile in 24 hours

Into the 50 mile mark of the marathon David started to feel it. His lungs seized and his chest rattled. He started to throw up knots of brown mucus. He thought he was invincible but without the proper training he was in tremendous pain.

David during his work as a navy seal there was an operation called operation Red Wings where a 4 man seal team was ambushed during as mission. It hit him hard as he knew every single one of the men on the mission. When he heard the news he knew he had to do something and he wanted to run one of the hardest marathons to raise money but he wasn’t gonna be let in easy.

After passing hell week there was a graduation where families can come see their loved ones. David felt as if the job wasn’t finished and it wasn’t they had only gotten though the first phase of seals training and moving on to combat diving.

When David got into seal training he experienced many obstacles such as a injured knee and got held back a class and had to restart hell week. David had to get pulled out because he wouldn’t give up even if his knee was in agony

For David qualifying to become a Navy Seal looked far ahead but that didn’t discourage him. He ran, swim, lift weights because that how determined he was. There were dark nights but he never gave in. Every single push-up, pull-up he didn’t hit for his goal stayed with him, creeping up on him but he pushed and got down from 297 to 250
