That first goal is always the hardest

I don't care which one you fulfill, as long as you stay there.


I'm sometimes dis-gruntled but I can't say I've ever felt "gruntled"

1. 1200 mi. (double 2004) on my a.h., and at least 600 miles running
including a 1/2 athon in Feb. and a full athon in ch.
2. (at least) 2 centuries (again, double 2004.) Hopefully a couple more,
depending on my work schedule. And, probably at least 3 or 4 50-milers, and
the Chilly Hilly in Feb.
3. Purchase (or build) a tadpole trike, or talk s.o. into a 'bent tandem.
4. 185 lbs. by the end of summer (225 now).

My biggest goal? To exercise 6 days a week, week-in and week-out,
regardless of weather, social obligations, work, etc. Too many excuses, and
not enough sweat this year.

Happy new year, everyone.

Regards,
H.

this year's goal was 4500 kms.

160 lbs - down from 165

hit 4750 kms

155 lbs

next year 5500 kims

I started at 180 when I was 45 and slowly moved down to 155 - don't need to
lose anymore

Oh, and my other goal is to have no more bicycles stolen - I can't have the
luck that I had this year.

- mountain bike - recovered when the miscreant thief rode it up to the Court
House - I placed him under arrest for possession of stolen property and put
bike in my car

two recumbents - recovered when miscreant thieves seen riding them down Main
Street the next day - arrests done by the police.
