Going the extra mile is doing more than the normal...more than expected. Going the extra mile is extending ourselves in our efforts and our communication. Going the extra mile is getting back up after we've been knocked down, despite whatever has happened, and saying, "I still choose the very best for myself!"
The Extra Mile America Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that encourages positive attitude and action by empowering individuals, organizations, and cities to "go the extra mile." Through public campaigns, speaking engagements, and partnerships with nonprofits, we empower people to apply the extra-mile principle, reach their goals, and live a more self-directed life.
Today, I pedaled from Green River, Utah to Grand Junction, Colorado.
It was 100 miles.
When I left the motel this morning, I said "You can do it! Go for it!" I then spent the next eight hours watching the miles tick away.
Hot weather, challenging winds, sore legs, baby hills, sun burn, big trucks...there should never be any roadblocks so big as to stop us from going for a goal we really want.
For me today...it was pedaling 100 miles.
For you today, it is...?
