I’m at a great point in my “fitness life!” How? I can set a goal but not be so consumed by it that I don’t grab and enjoy every great moment on my way to that goal! What? Example: I am running 6000 miles this calendar year to celebrate my 60th birthday! I decided that I am going to keep a daily count but never add it all up! Instead I am going to do my best ever “running through 2024” and not overly concern myself with the total outcome! Why? I believe by doing that I will actually run quite a bit more than 6000 miles! When I turned 50 I ran 5000 miles for that year and reached the 5000th mile on August 29th mid way through a 50K! I am convinced that if I hadn’t kept a perfect “track record” that I would have kept running the last 4 months the way I did the first 8 and would have accomplished much more! How do I know this? Simply because I know me!

My goal this calendar year is still to run 6000 miles to celebrate my 60th birthday! However, me tracking my progress has changed totally and “for myself it represents a great improvement! Please read on … I have been tracking daily progress and I was going to add it up at the end of June but I have decided that I’ll no longer keep daily / weekly/ monthly or yearly totals! Why? Because I have decided that I have trained my mind/body well enough over the years that I can keep my eye on the goal but not track constantly and still be able to give 100% effort every day not knowing exactly where I’m at in the total miles! This is simply me taking the next step in “mind/body awareness!” “The” Trainer/Inside Out Fitness #6000miles #6000milestory #6000milesrunningtocelebrate60yearsofliving #6000milesrun #6000milesaway #6000mileslater #6000milesoffun #6000milesformy60th #6000milesforthebig60 #6000milesfortheyear #columbiarivergorge #columbiarivergorgeengagement

10 years ago …
I ran 5000 miles to celebrate
my 50th birthday!

I’m currently running 6000 miles to celebrate my 60th!

When I turn 70 I’ll run 7000 miles!

Then …. 8000 for 80th
9000 for 90th … 10,000 for 100th

Yes I realize at some point I won’t complete it but what matters is that I try!
