The number of miles I’ve run/ jogged since my training started is now over 200! When I trained for the marathon in 2007, I think I had a total of 120 or there about. It might be safe to say that the number of miles run in this training is probably more than the number of miles I’ve run in my whole life (certainly after I got out of high school). To celebrate the achievement today, after I got home, I did 200 situps (yea, we all have different definitions of rewards).
I don’t know why it’s taken me 200 miles to realize this, but when I run, I typically look at the ground a few feet ahead of me. I don’t know if it’s a running lesson, business lesson or a life lesson, but it occurred to me that I need to look where I’m going, not where I am. I had that thought (looking up and) running through my head this morning. Every time I looked down, , I’d remind myself not to. I’ve got places to go and things to see and that path hasn’t been so clean since the big storms so not much to see there.
Two hundred miles sounds like a huge number for people that don’t run/ jog (me), but I have a feeling it’s just the beginning.
