    Thumbs up Setting weekly goals and meeting them

    Just started riding a road bike first time in Feb of this year when I got my new bike.
    I started out riding 13 miles per ride, then 14mi.avg. (speed 13mph), then riding 21 miles per ride, now 30-33 miles, avg speed 14.5. After I got my cyclometer in April I began to really challenge myself and set records to base my accomplishments on.
    I set a goal a week ago of riding 100 miles on my road bike. I was so excited being that I started my week on Sunday and met my goal by Friday!!
    What a feeling I had after my ride on Friday, it was great. I am so glad I set this for myself, I want to do it again!

    Now I am wanting to add in some weight training. Looking to try it along with 100 mile ride this week and adjust after the week to see how I feel. Don't want to overtrain, don't think I will, just have to be mindful and eat right to fill the energy tanks. I rode 33 miles without breakfast yesterday and felt tired most of the day. I had drank water on ride and some HIGH5 gel, and part of an energy bar. I don't know what else it could be. Is it too many miles? or is it not enough energy stored before ride?

    I also commute to work 4 days a week on MTB but don't know the mileage exactly, I would say it is approx. 4 miles each way. (approx.32 MTB work week miles) I do not count this mileage in my 100 for the week. It is just a filler to keep me moving.

    I am thankful to have all of you, it motivates me so much! Thank you!

    What are your weekly goals??
