After passing my test I am able to devote more time to things I love like podcasting. A thought came to me during my morning meditation: Do you love your life enough to make it last as long as possible? I think I do. I look forward to many days and the things I can do with them. So it feels good to be working out every day because I feel like I am prolonging the life I love. I have more energy today, which is great because the last couple of days have been tough. It gets dark quick and I’m concerned about having reflective gear so I don’t get hit by a cyclist. I like to look ahead and pick a point of reference to look toward. I need to have a goal and that allowed me to run more than a quarter mile today. I can see myself running a half mile pretty soon. The math works out that if I continue progress at this rate I will have no trouble hitting my goal by the deadline of November 18, 2018. And just to be clear, the goal is to run two laps in a single day, so I don’t anticipate running that distance every day.
