Happy New Year

My Yearly Mileage is Zero. I have done no training in 2008. I am sure I am behind all the Houston Bloggers, Barcers, Striders, Space City Cyclists, Hypoxians and Harra folks who dragged their hungover behinds out of bed and got some mileage in before the bowl games. What a sloth. I think I will go to a coffee shop to fret and whine.

New Years Eve ride was a 12 miler on a mountain bike with some Club Hypoxia folks in Cherry Creek State Park in the Denver area. It was 21 degrees and windy, my coldest ride to date. The road was a bit snow packed and icy but no problem for my fat tire. Toasted the new year after the ride. Total outdoor bike mileage for 2007 was 2508.75.

For 2008 my goals are to:

1) Savor every workout with the joy of life.
2) Train consistently and mindfully, avoiding injury.
3) Increase my bike and swim mileage from 2007.
4) Be able to run consistent weekly mileage by year end, no matter how slow or how little.
5) Be a better BARC officer and member in my other running and biking clubs, volunteer often.
6) See number (1)
