        Milestones aren't stupid.  I think you should stop wherever you are and take a commemorative picture.

        Are we there, yet?

          When is the last time any of you saw an actual milestone, the kind they used to mark miles on the old roads?

           2024 Races:

                03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles

                05/11 - D3 50K
                05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour

                06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.

            One of these? Never. lol

             

             

            We still have mile markers but milestones are long gone.   Of course I grew up in the city so they could have been around in the surrounding rural and country areas.

              I don't think I've ever actually seen one, other than in the card game Mille Bornes.  There is a "mile check" laid out by the park I run at, but it uses metal signs.  Not the same.

               

              (There is a stone elevation marker out here in the sticks, with a small metal sign warning people not to disturb it, lol.)

                  Milestones like that are meaningless and irrelevant and you should celebrate the hell out of them.  I sure do.

                  Short term goal: 17:59 5K

                  Mid term goal:  2:54:59 marathon

                  Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life.  (I started running at age 45).
