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.
I pedaled 50+ miles today. The key is starting early and getting as many miles under my belt as possible. If it's late in the day, and I am pushing to get miles done...that gets more psychologically challenging. SIX weeks to go! - Shawn
