After being diagnosed and put on medication, I had to completely revise my goals. Now I am working on stay in shape and increasing endurance, hoping to be medically cleared soon to get on the trainer and out my bike. In the meantime, running will suffice.

My goal this year was to lose weight (15 lbs), bike more than 1500 miles, to start commuting and complete a century.
So far, I have completed 2 centuries, I now commute at least twice a week, I've put over 1500 miles on my road bike (not counting commute miles)...BUT, I've gained 5 lbs!!
So, to round out the year as a success...I need to lose 20 lbs. That might be a bit too aggressive. Perhaps I'll just up my milage goals?

I had started with 5200/year as a goal(100/week),. It became obvious that I was going to smash it, so I upped to 7000. Then I broke my arm, spent 7 weeks off the bike, and spent the last weeekend cruising the Mojave in van(Aka the 508)
I may revise it to 6500.
I wanted to do a century a month, but that went out the window
I also wanted to lose some wieght. I was doing good until the crash. Still, I'm about 20 lbs below I what was last year, but 25 over what I wieghed when I was in PA.
All in All, I was looking at this year as prep for next year in terms of both Bike and personal goals. So I made some progress, but not as much as I had hoped.
