1000 Miles!

Today was the day! I crossed the 1000 mile mark on my running total for the year! This is the fourth year in a row that I have hit this milestone and it's always exciting to me. (I know, I know, very strange...)

It takes me approximately 1700 steps per mile. So that is One MILLION, Seven Hundred Thousand steps!! Here's a graph with the totals broken down by week (click to enlarge). I am right on pace to meet my goal of 2600 miles, with an average of 50 miles per week! A new high for me!



I've gone through about 4 pairs of shoes in these 1000 miles. This is what my shoes look like brand new:



This is what they look like after a couple hundred miles:



I've often heard it said that "living for God is like a marathon." But a marathon is a one day event and then it's over. Life is day after day after day. Just as I didn't reached 1000 miles in a day, it will be many days of consistency that will get us to our ultimate goal of heaven. Keep running!
