Forums >Look What I Can Do!>Achieved my 2008 goal!
In 2008, it was my goal to run 1,000.
I had a horrible case of plantar fasciitis instead.
I took off the second half of 2008 from running.
My 2009 goal was to "just be able to run again."
Today, December 31, I finished my 1,000th mile for 2009.
There's something to be said for achieving a goal a year too late.
This is my second year to have run 1,000 miles in the year. This persistence accomplishment feels really good. Even better than a couple years ago.

Achieve last year's (or last decade's) goal this year isn't that bad. But nor is achieving this year's 2010 goal in 2011.
Persistence.
