You can’t improve what you don’t measure.
And you can’t improve what you don’t do.
Distance is only one way to track progress.
Other ways:
Time
Weight
BMI
Resting heart rate
Cholesterol
Flexibility
Core strength
Commitment
Passion
Joy
i always say, “Find a million ways to stay motivated.”

Pushing through leads to the other side.
Booked the Lyon, France Hotel yesterday (this is a big deal milestone).
It took a decade of progress to compete in the 2009 Masters Track and Field World Championships.
It’s taken six more years (16 total), to get another shot at it.
This time with healthy feet.

The night before, i was all excited about running in the morning. But when the morning came yesterday, it was really humid, and i just wasn’t feeling it, blah, blah, blah. Plus the time pressure of having an early High School tour.
But then, a runner. He unexpectedly came from behind and passed me as i finished the first warmup mile and stopped to stretch.
He was several hundred meters ahead when the stretching was done and i decided to see if i could catch him – slow and steady of course.
While the 6:06 split was nice, i had this crazy notion of trying a second attempt to go sub-six minutes. Had never attempted it because i thought it was impossible.

Progress, even slowly, is still progress.
An official USA team top is required for all Team USA competitors. Ordered it yesterday at the request of the organizers.
Looking forward to getting back on the track (sidewalk) again tomorrow morning.

Saturday’s track meet had several firsts, including one that is significant:
No soreness and no pain from overdoing it.
Not that evening. Not yesterday. Not now.
This is huge.
Progress.
Wisdom.
PS. For a 56 year old to run a single event with a time like that could create some stiffness. To do both on the same day, almost guaranteed soreness.
