24. My neighbor did it in installments - a certain number of miles a year

He'd set the length he wanted to accomplish each year and take enough time to do it. Since we live in Florida, he trained by climbing the steps in the state capital every day - it's the tallest building in town.

I'm not sure how many years it took him but when he had finished, he went back to climb the stairs again - and the capital police had put up a banner in the stair well congratulating him. He was in his late 70s when he completed the entire trail.
