Just under two years ago we made the roughly 9 hour car ride from our home in Alexandria, VA to our new house in Maine. The trip is about 555 miles, give or take. Today, less than two years later I completed the trip again - running.
Let me explain. Thanks to the marvels of modern technology I've been able to track every mile I have run since April 1, 2013 (that was my first real run since moving up here). Today I passed the 555 mile mark all-time. So, in a manner of speaking, I have run the distance from our old home to our new home. In doing so I have had some great runs, some really difficult runs, and some new races. I have been able to show my kids the importance of staying healthy and I have been able to see some awesome views. I have run in two states and two countries. I have run to find a cure for multiple myeloma.
And, to top it all off I passed this milestone by running a personal record for the 5k. Not too shabby.
