    I'm gonna set my goal as 13,000. That might be too ambitious for me, but that is the stated goal! LOL

    OK. Bike goal 30 000 feet. That's 6000 more than this month. Yikes. But I think I can do it, as long as I can keep riding outside.

    Running goal stays at 20 000 feet. I don't really think I should be encouraging myself to run hills more than this.

    Good luck in May everyone!!

    May's goal is 13,800. I barely missed April's but I'm still 13% ahead of plan for the year. June is the big month so I need to keep up the momentum.

    Climbing ? Posted in Tips/Tricks Forum

    Hi Climbing Godesses!

    I posted a (somewhat long ) climbing training question called Distance Climbing Question in the Tips/Tricks section. Any comments appreciated!

    (It is about my progression of climbing and distance towards a goal ride in August.)

    Thanks!!

    Yay. Now that I have my Garmin I can talk about climbing!! Since I haven't a clue what kind of #s I've had in the past, tough to set a goal though.

    Here we go:

    1. Set a good base #.

    2. Climb the Oak Grove Road hill without stopping. 20% grade. One of the first I checked out with the new toy.

    Well, one week gone and I'm up above 11 000 already.

    Running, I'm only at 1600. That's OK.

    How's everyone doing?

    I may need to adjust mine, I've already got 5,000 feet.

    I just got a Garmin Edge 305 so I will be able to set some goals after a few weeks of seeing what I already do. What a cool toy this is!

    I did about 7500' in April and I've done 4200' already in May so my goal should be well above 10,000. Maybe 15,000?

    Got in 5127 Feet yesterday! Woohoo! (and saw 2 bears) Here are some internet pictures of where I was, although I didn't take these (and I apologize that I do not have the name of the photographer...they were from a personal traveler's website...not a commercial photographer)...there was a lot more snow up there yesterday.

    How's everyone doing?
