The 100-day challenge is an interesting one for sure. It seems sort of innocuous when you make the commitment. 100 days, sure thing, I can do that. And then we start in earnest. The first few days are exciting, and we keep pressing forward and with each day, each week, the challenge evolves. More and more obstacles, more possibilities to not keep going. And then a milestone. 40 days completed. A good and solid number, for sure. At 10 miles a day that is 400 miles, nice, very nice. And then the look forward. 60 more days to go. Not even halfway there. Yikes……. It feels even harder than when we started. We have been going for over a month and we still have 60 more days to go. Time to embrace the challenge, to look inside, to remind ourselves that it is just “us against us”….time to move on; commit to finishing the 100-day challenge. Yes, that is it, we came to this challenge to complete it and now that is exactly what we are going to do. So, 10 miles it will be tomorrow morning and then ten more after that and that and that. Yea, 60 glorious days to go, blessed for sure.

Loving life when I have 60 days of running to go
