Who do you want to be?

miracole

I've noticed on this forum that we talk a lot about short term goals and we all set weights that we want to lose which is, of course, the best way to motivate yourself - by setting achievable goals, reaching them, and then setting new achievable goals.

But now I want to see what some of your longest term goals are. And I'm not talking a year or two from now, I'm talking more out there from the perspective of the grander things in life.

My first out there goal was to be the girl that tells people she runs marathons and never gets the skeptical raised eyebrow that says "yea right you probably think that a 5k is a 'marathon'". Well now I am that girl, my second marathon is in 5 weeks.

my NEW out there goal is to be the old woman who gets interviewed in their city's paper at the age of 80 for doing a marathon with all her kids and grandkids. At that point I want to say "oh yes, this is my 53rd marathon" (am assuming I'll do one a year) and the coolest one I did was in "X" country" (the goal right now is for X to be on the Great Wall of China).

So share!...who do you want to be?
