Wow, all the musical talent here! My mother has a restored baby grand in her living room that she plays like a dream......unfortunately, I did not inherit her talent for music making, but I do really enjoy the other end of things - just listening. When the harmony is just so, I get goosebumps. My brother DID, however, inherit the music-making gene - drums is his instrument and he is extremely talented at the recording end of things. He converted part of his garage into a studio, where he and his band record tracks. Me...ummm... I totally flopped at the flute, and that's puttin' it nicely. I took up art and sports instead.

Ok, back to the subject at hand...goals. I haven't had a chance to work out any mileage goals, but one goal I do have at this point is to be able to stay with the Saturday morning group - the racers - and be competitive again on sprint/interval training and all-out practice race nights. If I can get to that point by the end of the season, I might seriously consider racing next year (yikes! I'll be in the Masters 35+ category!!). There alot of "if's" here, as I have time issues with the kids, job, etc., but my gut tells me I can do it if I really apply myself. It's just keeping the balance of all those time demands that will be difficult.
