Along the heart goal line (wow I love that concept), I’ve run several marathons and halves where I dedicated each mile to a different person or cause. Like people who have had a significant impact on my life or I’m burdened for. Ahead of time I write their names on the back of my bib (you could write them on your forearm). Then at each mile-marker I think about or pray for that person and think about memories, laughter, gratefulness things, how can I encourage them, etc etc. It keeps your mind on something besides the physical goal, pain, etc.
