Just a casual 5:57-minute mile. But by following her own goal-setting tips, Gracey (and her helmeted, strapped-in son Rome) breezed past that record.

She focused on doing something she loved and something where she enjoyed the training process. She eased into the activity, starting with run walks, and celebrated milestones along the way. And lastly, she set a goal that was not yet in reach, but was within her grasp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it&#8217;s really helpful to assess your situation and look at where are you at in your life,\u201d Gracey says. \u201cWhat kind of time do you have to commit to this goal? How much time until you have to meet the goal? And I think it&#8217;s really important to make sure that you set yourself up to have a really fair shot at achieving that goal, or at least you&#8217;re in the position on that day to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about Gracey, and hear more running and goal-setting tips, on the latest episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.skimresources.com%3Fid%3D104860X1561639%26xs%3D1%26xcust%3DSTMSHL-1110255%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fpodcasts.apple.com%252Fus%252Fpodcast%252Fsmall-steps-to-achievable-goals%252Fid1557769801%253Fi%253D1000626930553&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fneely-gracey-stroller-mile%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/small-steps-to-achievable-goals\/id1557769801?i=1000626930553\"><em>The Well+Good Podcast<\/em><\/a>.
