I don’t have an outlet for this, so please don’t skewer me. This is just shameless bragging, but I don’t want to look like a tool to my friends for doing so. For the first time in my life, I set a really ambitious goal (for me, at least) for running this year. And despite lacking the focus to even finish a sandwich, much less a year-long goal, I am on pace to meet my distance goal a little early. I’m super proud of this. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. And best of luck to all of you!

Seriously though, thanks for letting me brag into the abyss here. You guys and gals are great, and I love reading about what everything else in this bowl is working towards. I don’t know any of you, but your motivation inspires me.

Keep up the good work!

Never having to run 1,200 miles in one year again in my life.

No, seriously.

I’ve hit this place where the sheer amount of energy that it took to get here, and knowing I’ll never want to do it again, is what’s driving me to finish it.

I’ll actually dial it back to 1000 miles next year. I did that last year and it was substantially more manageable than 1200 miles.

I think next year’s goal will be practicing/playing guitar on the regular.

Looking for treadmill recommendations. A little detail about me:

-I will use it probably 3 times a week for shorter distance walk/runs
-used to have a peloton tread+ but returned in the recall. Absolutely loved the slat treadmill on my knees/hips
-would ideally like a woodway but $$
-need it for the most basic functions & would watch tv or take peloton / Apple fitness classes on my iPad
-it will go in a garage
-not concerned about having huge incline

Thank you for your input!
