Monthly Mileage Goal - January

I've fallen short of my goal this month, oh well. Got bogged down with papers for school and then I went out Wed. and flatted about 8 miles into my ride without a tube(AHH bad me!!), and had to be picked up, and then Thursday flatted towards the end of the first part of the ride(did a group ride and was going to put in an extra 1.5 hours after it) but after changing the flat, I realized there was a hole forming in the tire and the tube was popping through :eek: so I rode home. So all in all I fell about 4 hours short this week, which is putting me about a 90 miles short for the month. Oh well, I still made it over 800 so far with a few more days to go. I should hit about 950-1000 for the month still.

Smilingcat- that was a great post you wrote! I loved reading it. You are dead on with what you said.

I hadn't thought about my goal in monthly terms until today.

Today, I exceeded 100 miles for January...pretty good given weather issues. So, Feb goal is 100.

March is 250. For April through August, 400/mo is reasonable. This will get me past my goal of 2,500 miles, so I guess my goal is too low.

So, at this point, if I don't exceed my annual goal by 1,000 miles, I guess I should be disappointed:o:(

Yeah. She's a little like Yoda.

I hit my goal of 500 and still have a few days to go. Most of these miles are trainer miles given the winter temps and the fact that I'm a weather wimp. If the weather holds tomorrow I'll ride after school and maybe break 100 road miles for the month. I'm off to a good start!

I fell short of my goal by 98 miles.

I've put an entry on our website about the month's training and how it went.

Yay... got there.
I did a total of 677 kilometres outside, 568km of that was on the road. So well and truly achieved what I wanted.

Congrats to those of you who reached the numbers you set yourselves...

V, so close! You can easily make that up in February... weather is getting better and better in your neck of the woods isn't it?

Mallio - too funny. My friend used to call me Yoda when we were young teenagers... but not because I was wise, more because of all the information I seemed to remember (even though most of it was useless - like the dot over the letter "i" is called a 'tittle' )

Right now I'm at 648 miles for January and I still have to commute home, so at least another 8 miles...possibly more.

Sniff, sniff.

I didn't get to ride at all this January, or last come to think of it. There were a couple of okay days, but the salt and grime on the streets was too much for me and my steel bike.

I don't think I rode my trainer either, but I've been taking about 3 spinning classes a week and trying my best to run. I hate winter. We're supposed to get six inches of snow tonight. On Tuesday, mind you, we had tornadoes. As they say, if you don't like the weather in Indiana, wait five minutes and it'll change.

Kudos to you ladies who were able to ride this past month!

did manage to go out for a short ride to close out January.

It was bit cold and bit windy. It was a nice ride though. The ride made me think about the why I ride? do I need to ride this much? ... a new thread.
