That which gets measured, gets managed.

I think the post title quote is attributed to Peter Drucker, management consultant extraordinaire. And it's true in all areas. Keeping an eating log helps make people aware and accountable. Keeping a written budget will help you get and stay on track financially. (Thanks Tim for starting us on budgeting when we were first married, and keeping us on track!)

Well, in February or March (no time to check back posts) I decided to run 1000 miles this year, just like I did 10 years ago when I was 37. And today I hit 1000 miles. It kind of doesn't make sense to me when I write it. Like how did I run 1000 miles? How can ANYONE run 1000 miles? The answer to that question is that it's taken determination (Tim would call it pig-headedness!) and consistency. Oh, and not getting injured has helped, for sure!

Anyway, the mom taxi is off and running, fueled by the high of hitting this goal! Happy Sunday, friends!

I'm not surprised, but I am proud.

The thing about you is, when you set a goal, you see it through to the end.
