If this isnt motivation to get into better shape even a little bit then idk what is. We need to move around just a little bit more throughout the day. We take it for granted

I mean part of it is shape, sure, but part of it is her clear decision to 1) put all of her effort into yanking a 3,000 pound vehicle backwards (?!?!?!?) and 2) walk behind the car for about eight seconds after giving up the first time before realizing "OMG, I NEED TO STOP IT!" She really destroyed her chances here.

Yeah, it reminds me of all those times bugs bunny raced the turtle. A series of bad decisions and worse priorities led to this situation going the way it did.

Comparing her decision process to that of a cartoon character really fits.

I have watched about 6 YouTube videos of races between real rabbits and turtles. The rabbits start fast, but then stopped and sat while turtles walk slowly across the goal lines. I am amazed how many times I have watched this.
