Day 350 – Milestone Reached “300”

Three hundred days ago, I wrote down on my 365 commitment list that I would wake up every morning at 5am, I would run, and I would do 1 additional pushup, situp, and squat. These were the four exercises that I hated the most.

So this morning, after my run, I did 300 push ups, situps, and squats. A major accomplishment for me, which was sort of a long term goal. It was generally anticlimactic. I did 299 yesterday, so 300 today seemed like no big deal.

But in think that is the whole point. Major accomplishments are always no big deal. They are just another step in a long journey of a committed person. Something I have learned in this journey. Now I know.
