There will be no "crushing." Virtual hugs and cheers for sure, but no crushing.
The only person I'm intent on beating mileage-wise this year is my ex-boyfriend. He and I are still friends and have a friendly mileage competition going via Bikejournal. He'll likely beat me in the end, but the fact that I'm ahead by about 70 miles now is sweet. Of course, he's faster, can climb on a double, and is also training for a tri, but we're ignoring those finer details.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
