Forward, Upward, Onward – BionicOldGuy

This is the title of an inspiring book by Matt Landry. Matt, who lives in New Hampshire near the White Mountains, was an experienced hiker. But he was not as dedicated about it as he would have liked. So as his 50th birthday was approaching, he decided to set the challenge for himself of hiking all 48 of the mountains over 4000 feet in elevation in the Whites. He chronicled the story of this adventure in this books, including the life lessons he learned along the way completing this significant challenge. I enjoyed this interesting read.

I like how pointing towards a goal that is a stretch can focus you to be more consistent in your training and push yourself beyond what you perceive as your limits. This inspires me to come up with a challenge that is out of my current comfort zone.
