HITTING THE FENCE...

INSPIRATION

• We were remembering the times where our coach would yell at our team to go “hit the fence” because he was not pleased. Then, we both started to wonder how much energy it takes to run back and forth in one soccer season, which then made us think about how long it would take to run a marathon if we only counted the amount of running when we were “hitting the fence.”

ASSUMPTIONS

• We will have do a lot of “hitting the fence” in order to run one marathon.
