Written by 1000 Mile Journey plus some achieved!
As of June 15th or so and just under the half way mark for by black-belt candidacy, I hit 1000 plus miles achieving my 1000 mile journey requirement. Lots of running, cycling, skiing and walking (some in San Francisco during an annual security conference). This has come at a bit of a price as I am now dealing with bursitis in my right heel (which tends to throb at night) and a pulled left hamstring a few weeks ago. Combine this with sparring and some of our drills in the dojo, it feels like “the tread” is wearing a bit thin at times, but I need to keep moving!
I hope to maybe hit the 2k mark by the time I am ready to test for my black-belt. But just like the first 1000 miles, it always starts with the willingness to take the first step!
Good job, sir. I am half way there!
