{20 Miles}


To 20 Miles,

            Miles, can I just call you Miles? You kicked my butt yesterday morning but I kicked yours right back. Can we remember back to 6 when I had to make that pit stop? Then I got back to it, doubled back to do the same route, which only got me up to 11? Or lets think about 15, when I thought I had 17 done, at least. Nearly defeated. Or to 18 when I thought, yes. I have got this. Finally let’s think about 19.99 turning to 20.00. Pure bliss.
            Why run the 20 – better question – why in 3 weeks run the 26.2? A few reasons, a few people, and a few inspirations got me going. Ultimately, though, it came down to these words.
            It takes time and it takes discipline. Most importantly, it teaches respect and love for self. And that’s where I am at right now, learning to love the self and the soul that will get me through the last 6.2. It's going to be all soul.

Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life. // The Message
