I also think that when you set big goals, it becomes terrifying to think you are going to miss it. It is not a random number, it is a number you set and worked towards.


I am firmly in the "get on the trainer" or "leave work" or "ride in the snow" or "go the the gym and spin on a boring bike" group.

Yes, enjoy the accomplishment of what you have done, and then go find a way (ANY way) to get the last 82 done. There's still time in 2010.
Thank you for "getting it"...I was afraid that some folks might miss the point of my post. Of course I am delighted and proud of my accomplishments on the bike this year. But like you said - "a goal is a goal" and I tend to be a tad bit neurotic when it comes to setting a mileage goal. Rest assured, I WILL find some way to complete those last 82 miles before Dec. 31...preferably outside on the road.
