"Buy the ticket, take the ride."
Hunter S. Thompson
Sometimes in life, you have to take a leap, do what feels uncomfortable, and just go for it. Embrace opportunities with a fearless and open mind. The results can often be surprising, exciting, and even transformative. It matters not so much what the thing is; maybe it is a race distance that you haven’t attempted before, an adrenaline-fuelled adventure that pushes your limits, or tackling a new and unknown route.

A book, a film and now a musical. The wonderfully touching novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, is a story of a man’s long walk to visit a dying friend, which ultimately becomes a profound journey of self-discovery. This song is from the new musical, written by folk crooners Passenger, but the lyrics could apply to anyone embarking on a long trail run!
