Hi, my min. goal of 8000 miles was hit at the start of December, I should hit my goal of 8400 miles by the holidays and end with a metric century on New Year Eve day. I managed to climb of 110,000 feet this year. These are both personal bests. For 2012, I want to ride at least the same amount of miles, but do the Crater Lake century ride in Oregon, ride around the circumference of Lake Tahoe and do a double metric century, with hopefully several other centuries thrown in for good measure.
I didn't have any riding goals this year, as I was tired of missing them! As it turns out, I am about to hit 3,000 km on my next ride, which is the goal I kept missing (and way more than I rode in previous years). Needless to say, I'm chuffed!
I was down to my ideal weight mid-year, but I've put on five pounds since then that I can't seem to bring myself to lose. I'm using Veronica's sig line as a mantra lately to try to focus my efforts. Finally, I found a great anusara yoga teacher in Santiago. I'm hoping a weekly class will help me stay focused on my other (nonphysical) goals.
Oh, I love Anusara! My favorite teacher is Anusara trained (though not certified yet), and when we visit my in-laws there's an Anusara studio just down the road from them. I pretty much slacked off yoga all summer - I had a few poses I practiced fairly consistently, but didn't keep up a real practice. Yesterday I went to my first class since April and I am sore all over. :o
Every year my goal is for 2500 miles. Missed last year due to some injuries, etc. With 2 weeks to go I need another 42 miles; should make it OK.
My cycling goal for 2012 is to ride at least 3 times a week whenever conditions permit. I'm not going to stress about long rides or short rides, I just want to keep riding.
