Recklessly Restless

I reached a personal milestone yesterday in my writing.  It is something, a number, that I have been driving towards for months, and yesterday the book that I have been writing hit 200 pages.  Now, the story is far from complete, and these pages will be edited, and cut, and re-written many times over before I'm through, but I was happy to have finally reached that number.

It is good to have goals, to reach for some number - be it your goal weight, pounds you can lift, or number of days without giving in to a bad habit, etc.  But it is important to realize that reaching that number doesn't mean the journey ends.  There is always something more you can reach for; something you can do to better yourself and pursue happiness in your life. 

With a time of 16 hours and 46 minutes, Maickel Melamed, of Caracas, Venezuela, was the very last of the more than 39,000 participants to finish the race.
