Yesterday I was talking with my mom and she told me about one of her friends doing a "100 mile month," wherein anyone who participates sets the goal of walking 100 miles a month. This is a great goal for anyone to obtain no doubt, but I got to thinking: Why not do a 100 mile week?
After all, I do about 10 miles a day anyways, and if I go from six days a week to seven days a week working out, then I'll have to add on approximently three miles, anyways. For example, on Monday I only did ten miles, and yesterday I did fourteen miles. So, if I accomplish 16 miles today and tomorrow, I will be able to go down to 14 the following days. And really, how hard is it to do a few more miles? Not hard at all! And, if I accomplish 100 miles every week for the rest of the year, that will be 4,000 miles! And if I do an entire year, it will be 5,200! I think rockin' that will definetly get me closer to my goal in no time!
Yesterday, I tried on my goal pants that I had wrote about the day before, and to my amazement, they fit! I could hardly believe it! With that new inspiration I did my normal two hour work out, but went back for another work out after dinner with my mom and sister and got another three miles in, and for one of those miles, I actually ran. Yeah, the girl who never ran before in her life, ran! It was pretty exciting and just reinforces the fact that yes, I can do anything that I set my mind to.
So, ready or not, 100 mile week, here I come.
