Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
You can make a lot of progress if you do this one thing:
Keep making slow and steady progress.
In yesterday’s 7-mile run, edit out the first slow warmup mile, and the last two slower cool down miles.
What’s in the middle is the real story. Four progressively faster miles.
And it is the last mile in the official workout (excluding warmup/cool down) that the real story comes alive.
Dropping a 6:23 on the final mile.
Wow.
A seriously delightful surprise.
Quite motivating.

The first sub-six minute mile of the year. A 5:58.
First 800 meters in 3:07, second 800 in 2:51.
Getting reacquainted with speed.
Speed feels like freedom.

Progress is simple. One foot in front of the other. Day after day.
Would be lying if the thought of another Track comeback in 2015 wasn’t a decently burning goal right now, December 17, 2014.
Will being retired and self-employed make it easier to train?
Just for the record, the past two year’s comeback attempts have been defeated due to injuries and competing priorities.
Maybe at the end of the day, the real blessing isn’t competition and results, but simply the drive to keep going year after year.

But only if we place importance or significance on them.

Height.
Savings.
Debt.
MPG.
ROI.
Zip code.

Weight.
A number not felt in five years.
And in 2009, the competition weight was 151.

When it seems there hasn’t been any progress for a long time and maybe there never will be any progress again – what do we do next?
Well, when we work diligently and with great patience and effort we eventually do make progress.
How can we not?
It (almost always) never happens in the time frame we wish for.
Haven’t seen this morning’s weight on the scale in over two years.
Never thought it would take this long to get back.
The long way is the short cut.
