The best day to start on your dream, goal, or secret desire was 20 years ago. The second best day to start is today.

When I ran my first marathon, I ran to just finish. I wasn’t trying to complete it at a specific time. I ran at a speed where I could carry on a conversation with others. I would run with someone for a mile and ask about how they started running, how many marathons they had run, where they were from, what other goals were on their life list. Everyone was willing to share.

People would drop back or run on ahead, and I would start a conversation with someone new. I so enjoyed listening to, and discovering everyone’s story. And, every story was truly interesting. The stories and conversations made the miles go by so quickly. Great stuff.

The last 8 miles of my marathon, I ran with Bob from Fort Myers. Bob told me he was 80 years old that day and was running his 80th marathon! Wow!

He told me he started running when he was 50. He said when he started, he was very unfit. He didn’t know anything about running, training for a race, or running a marathon. He didn’t run his first marathon until he was 53. Here he was 27 years later still running.

He looked fitter and younger than most of the people running around him. He had a smile on his face and humor in his voice. He was delighted with his life. Running gave him fitness, good health, clarity of thought, time alone, peace of mind. It was his passion.

His wife and 2 best friends were waiting for him at the finish line and they were going to celebrate his 80th birthday, and his accomplishment of 80 marathons, over brunch and a huge stack of pancakes! Go Bob!

The very best day to start on that dream or goal or secret desire you have is …. 5, 10 or 20 years ago.

Isn’t it? We all wish we had started sooner. We all wish we had started exercising, training for a marathon, taking care of our health and wellbeing, writing our book, starting our small business, putting money in the bank, traveling, making friends, pursuing personal growth, learning, taking up our hobby or our passion … 5, 10 or 20 years ago.
