Today I completed a 5,000 mile running challenge. I began on Jan 1, 2008 and ran 5000 Miles (8325 KM)!!! This means 2.1 miles a day average for 2288 days. I am still fat but I am pretty healthy. I started the internal challenge when my mother passed and I was at my heaviest. I ran during this time mainly in the USA but also Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Jamaica and Thailand. The condition helped teach me something about steadfastness. If I missed days I could still come back and work harder but I could not stop. The first year I ran 1000 miles and decided to expand it to 3,000 miles in 3 years. I then said I would run 2,000 miles more in the following 4 years (500 each year) . I finished 8 months 20 days ahead of schedule. Running can be like a prayer. I need a week to set a new goal.
