GOAL: STEP ON THE TREADMILL
STATUS: COMPLETE
I walked for 0.1 miles for 5:21.
Tonight, we watched the most masterful production of Hamlet I have ever seen and probably ever will see. (Kudos to Quinn Mattfeld for his brilliant, revelatory rendition and to the rest of the cast and crew.)
I do my own share of second-guessing, getting caught up in my head, procrastinating when I should act, wondering whether it's all worth it, thinking...
It's paralyzing.
I also wonder what I'm going to do when I travel somewhere that doesn't have a treadmill. Can I count the walking itself, because that's the ultimate goal, or do I literally count only the stepping on the treadmill? What right, honest, reasonable...?
"...for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
(Not sure I quite agree with "nothing," but definitely with most things...)
Still pondering the practicalities for how to handle the goal when it's truly not achievable, because I don't want that to become a derailer.
Open to ideas...
As for today, I stepped on the treadmill at the hotel.
But, I did my walking at the Utah Shakespeare Festival.

My two cents: walking around the house; around the block; or around a track (football) field all count towards your goal. An activity that's measurable is preferred only to keep track of your mileage. The important thing is to continue WALKING towards your goal! Keep your Eye on the Tiger! (Long live Rocky Balboa!)
