MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH

Get Smart was a 1960's television comedy that satirized the secret agent movies that were so popular at the time.  The show was created by comedy legends Mel Brooks and Buck Henry and starred Don Adams at secret agent Maxwell Smart, Agent 86.  The show popularized many catchphrases including: "Would you believe...", , "Sorry about that, Chief", "The Old (such-and-such) Trick", "And ... loving it", "I asked you not to tell me that", "Missed it by that much!"

It was the phrase "Missed it by that much!" that I was thinking about yesterday.  I took my bike to the YMCA for my two-hour elliptical workout. Each time I step onto the elliptical machine at my hometown YMCA I set my 'goal' for the session to log 10 miles.  Yesterday afternoon, I felt that I was not running 'on a full tank' when my session started and apparently I was right.   I failed to achieve my 10 miles, in fact, the machine recorded that I logged 9.99 miles.  I was furiously pedaling away for the last ten minutes in order to reach my goal.  Nevertheless... I....'missed it by that much!'

After my 125 minute workout on the elliptical machine, I failed to  log 10 miles.  I missed it by that much!
