I've revised my mileage goal upward from 5K to 8,250. If weather permits, I might raise it to 9,000. I'm hoping for a mild, snow/ice free rest-of-2006 (and all of 2007, haha).
My goals for the rest of the year is to get out on my 'cross bike for some dirt riding and to acclimate quickly to the colder temps.
I've only returned to cycling (since my 20s) this march, so I'm too much of a newbie to have formulated any goals beyond hoping that I would continue to cycle consistently in spite of the fact that I was gaining weight pretty steadily (and DH who was riding less and eating more was losing steadily:eek: ). Well, I kept at it, and I think I will hit 1000 miles within the month. I've also lost the 8 pounds I gained when I started plus 15 more. I don't think I want to get too hung up on weight loss or mileage, because I can become obsessive about these things:rolleyes: . I think I will just stick with the goal to ride consistently.
this is a running goal:
when i lived in phoenix i didn't believe i could run. there was a trail that hiked around usery mountain that was 7 miles long. it would take me from 3 to 4 hours to hike it depending on who i was with.
when i go down there next month my goal is to run it the whole way.
(now that i've said this twice and have this many witnesses i have to do it, hopefully the leg will be 100% by then.)
