<strong>53</strong>-<strong>Year</strong>-<strong>Old</strong> <strong>Motivational</strong> <strong>Author</strong> <strong>Proves</strong> <strong>Age</strong><br />
<strong>50</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>30</strong><br />
Shawn Anderson Adds 7<strong>50</strong> Mile Japan Hike to H<strong>is</strong> Extra Mile Adventures.<br />
Los Angeles, CA, April 15, 2016/PressReleaseCircle/ -- Creating adventures to sharpen<br />
himself <strong>is</strong> nothing new for <strong>53</strong>-year-old motivational speaker and author Shawn<br />
Anderson. Anderson has biked 4,000 miles solo across the United States twice, hiked<br />
5<strong>50</strong> miles across Spain in 27 days, and hiked 440 miles up the coast of Portugal.<br />
Additionally, Anderson has run a 100-mile race, completed a 40-day around-the-world<br />
trip and has created adventures in 40 countries. On April 15, 2016, the six-time author<br />
will put on h<strong>is</strong> tenn<strong>is</strong> shoes and take on h<strong>is</strong> next extra-mile adventure: hiking 7<strong>50</strong> miles<br />
around Shikoku Island, Japan.<br />
Being in h<strong>is</strong> fifties and hiking nearly 20 miles a day for 40<br />
consecutive days doesn’t faze Anderson. “If I act old, I grow<br />
old faster. Of course walking 7<strong>50</strong> miles will be demanding in<br />
multiple ways, but I believe at age <strong>53</strong> I am better equipped to<br />
handle many of those challenges,” Anderson shares. “Also, I<br />
will not let myself get overwhelmed with the entirety of the<br />
7<strong>50</strong> mile goal. I will stay present in the moment by focusing<br />
on only one step and one mile at time.”<br />
Anderson, author of the motivational book A Better Life: An<br />
Inspiring Story About Starting Over, shares, “The<br />
excellence and adventure of each of our lives will always be<br />
determined by our own v<strong>is</strong>ion and a willingness to take<br />
massive action on that v<strong>is</strong>ion. If we think we can…we can. If<br />
we think we can’t…we can’t. I don’t want to be a person who lets excuses stop me at any<br />
age.”<br />
In addition to being a successful lifetime entrepreneur, Anderson <strong>is</strong> also the Founder of<br />
Extra Mile America and the creator of “Extra Mile Day” - a day recognizing the<br />
capacity we each have to create positive change when we go the extra mile. On<br />
November 1, 2015, 551 mayors and cities made the unique declaration and recognized<br />
those in their local communities who were going the extra mile in volunteer<strong>is</strong>m and<br />
service. Additionally, in 2015 Anderson took h<strong>is</strong> “go the extra mile” message outside of<br />
the United States and created a month-long speaking tour in the Philippines where he<br />
shared h<strong>is</strong> inspirational message with over 10,000 Filipinos.<br />
“As far as being <strong>53</strong> and walking 7<strong>50</strong> miles? Always do I believe my best days are still<br />
ahead of me…never behind me,” Anderson concludes.
