Year end recap

[yellow]

Fun post! I was going through my log tonight anyway.

Locations from the summary sheet (ski is either skate or classic XC ski):

• Park City, UT ski, run, bike
• Salt Lake City, UT ski, run, bike
• Ogden Valley, UT ski, run, bike
• Heber, UT ski
• Bryce, UT ski, run
• Zion, UT run
• Los Osos CA run
• Pismo Beach, CA run
• Phoenix, AZ run
• Denver, CO run
• Bend, OR bike
• Tulum, Mexico run
• Fruita, CO bike
• Logan-Wellsville, UT bike

The interesting stuff are the running stats. I logged just over 1200 miles (1206, to be exact). My goal was 1500. 11, yes, just 11 of those miles were on pavement. About 70 were on the treadmill. The rest were on the trail. Of the about 1100 left, about 270 were on snow (although it sure seemed like more...).

We won't talk about my cycling mileage. Pathetic. My usual goal is to have my cycling mileage at least double my running mileage. I didn't quite get there.

I have no idea how many pups I did. Hundreds, for sure. But not 100 in a row!

I rode outside 153 days this year, which has me wondering what I was doing the other 213. Definitely not running, or swimming, or even skiing. Hmmm.

Slackers don't set goals, since that would be counter-productive. But I did meet my ... yearly "wishes". Several centuries, a bike tour, riding out of state (Colorado, Oregon, Arizona), and volunteering (at Waves to Wine).

I've got nothing impressive like that map, for sure -
But I bought my road bike in July of this year and put 800 miles on her (which makes me incredibly proud )

I remember those weeks last spring when I wondered if I dare transition from the hybrid i'd learned on, to the sexy black & pink road bike with the oh-so-skinny tires. I still can't believe I stay upright on it (a miracle of science) - but I so love this bike, I think I'd give her a kidney if she needed it

Sadly, she still has no name - but even nameless, she knows she is loved.

I'm impressed y'all! I supposed 2008 could be summed up by the "best intentions of mice and men..." and yes, they did go astray, somewhere around august. So here's hoping 2009 is better. Considering I woke up this morning with the residue of yesterday's migraine, we won't discuss it. Maybe I'll take Breezy out for a spin in the neighborhood. That counts for something, right? I have got to be better. I know I'll feel better.

So Happy New Year, and Happy Trails everyone!

My year in fitness? Not as geographical as yours, Oakleaf... well impressed by your map though!

Most of my rides are within a 100km radius... but I did crack my road mileage goal for 2008. Although I got over 6000 kms on the bike (includes mountain bike/off-roadkms but not spin/indoors), my road goal was 5300km and I finished the year with 5471.74km.

I'm well pleased with that.

I didn't lose any more weight, but I feel fitter and healthier than ever and thats more important to me.
