On the trail, If I can get 10 miles in before 10am I know I will be set up for a good mileage day. It is something I strive for.
Now that I’m off the trail, I have a list of things I’m supposed to do everyday, I use the 10 before 10 rule there to; I try to get 10 of them completed before 10am and then I know I’m set up for a good day.
