Ideally you should have completed just over 500k or miles, depending on your target.
Not been great here clocking a total of just 58k, so 1960 to go. Things can only get better!
1960 was the first Olympics that I saw, on a very small black and white screen at a great aunt's. I can still clearly remember Abebe Bikila running the marathon barefoot through the streets of Rome.
Back is just about better, I hope: ran for the first time today...just over a mile. Onwards and upwards.
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
