Closing 2015 on a High Note

I feel quite good closing out calendar year 2015 on a high note.  Today, I ended the month of December with 415.77 total miles of deliberate pedestrian activity.  This beats my previous record of just over 413 miles in one month that was set a year ago in December 2014.

Not only did I set my own personal best distance during a one month period, but I also improved my average per mile pace compared to last year.  In December 2014 my average pace was 16' 46" per mile.  I actually remember thinking that this pace, at the time, seemed pretty brisk.  Three hundred and sixty five short days later, my average pace for a slightly greater distance came in at 15' 59".  Over the course of the month that is a bit over five hours less walking time.

I'm looking forward to seeing what calendar year 2016 will bring my way, and I'm grateful that I've learned that whatever that may be it will unfold one day, one hour, one moment at a time.  I'm also grateful for the truth of incremental progress and just how powerful that concept proves to be.

It was a great day, a great month, and a great year.  I'm looking forward to experiencing tomorrow.
