Write it down.
A goal in your head is a wish. A goal on a page, with a date and a progress bar wired to real data, is a schedule. So here is the whole list: the things to do, the animals to see, and exactly how far along each one is. No partial credit.
Do hard things
Four locked in. The first two are already moving: the progress below is computed from the race log, not typed in.
See wild things
The other half of the list does not care about pace. Animals worth crossing an ocean for, tracked the same way: seen or not seen. Nothing checked yet. That is the point of a list.
The pages doing the counting
The Fifty States
- Goal one, mapped: raced, run-only, and not yet
- Every remaining state carries a live race pick
Running HQ
- The engine behind all of this: weekly volume, straight off the watch
- If the miles stop, this list stops. They have not stopped.
PR Progressions
- The 100-miler will not care about pace. The board still keeps the receipts.
- Marathon: 4:29 to 3:08 and counting
