30 days until the end of the year.
Maybe it’s a little early to reflect on 2010, I don’t know.
I know I have accomplished a few of my running goals for 2010, and I am closing in on another – a sub-20 5K, a sub-40 10K, a BQ, check, check, and check! And I’m just 85 miles away from 1,500 for the year.
But there is one goal that I’m afraid I may have to make a run at again in 2011. Truth be told, it is an annual goal that I hope to accomplish EVERY year.
Back on New Year’s Day of this year, wrote this:
Some of you responded saying you would take up the challenge. I hope you were successful. I can think of 3 or 4 that I’ve succeeded with, but I’m afraid that I will fall short of my goal of 10. Still, I’m pretty sure that I’ve had a positive impact on at least 10 runners and non-runners alike. Hopefully there are some out there that were inspired by my running and blog to simply get more active in 2010, because honestly, as much as I talk about running, it doesn’t matter to me whether it’s running or swimming or biking or rock climbing. My hope is that those people who were inspired to do more, turn around and pay it forward.
Whether you are a sub-3:00 hour marathoner or a 6:00-plus marathoner, you inspire someone. Whether you run 10 miles per week or 100 miles per week, you inspire someone. Whether you have been running forever or you have just started, you inspire someone. Whether you run at all or find your regular physical activity elsewhere, you inspire someone. All we need to do is reach out and lend a spark to that inspiration.
