Monthly Mileage Update

Can't we just say I hit my original goal of 7,500 and call it good? It is getting harder and harder to put in the miles outside and the thought of a little over 1,500 miles in the next two month, presumably at least HALF on the trainer is making me a little queasy in the stomach.

At any rate, I'm still on pace to break 10,000. That elusive goal that I've always wanted to accomplish, even if it kills me. Trust me, it's trying to.



At the end of October I currently have 8420.97 miles in for the year. That puts me at an average of 27.70 miles per day and on a pace to ride 10,110.70 miles. IF I get to 10,000, expect to see the number stop there. I don't know if I have the heart to keep trying to ride 27.70 miles per day if I hit 10,000. Another update at the end of November.

This month's new stat is going to be "Days that I have been in a vehicle/driven a vehicle".

September was a "down month" mileage wise. I DID barely squeak by with 700 miles, and even rode in some nasty rain on a mountain bike on Sunday to finish it off in style. I need to pick it up to stay on pace for 10K for the year.

There were two of my 2007 Goals picked off this month however. I hit 7,500 miles on the 29th in the middle of a "Honey-do-grocery-getter" Saturday. While I'm still shooting for 10,000, it was nice to get over the "goal hump". The other goal was one that I have been nervous about all year as I only had one shot at completing it: Run Sub 36 on the Intramural 14 mile bike race. My stretch goal was to win it at age 40, but once I realized Alex Baldwin was still going to be around, I abandoned that idea and did the next best thing, had him join our team. We worked really well together for the whole race and the wind was only around 10mph and I not only broke 36, but also 35 (34:26).

The Team: Joe P., Craig D., Kevin B., Alex B.

Mileage as of 9/30/07 - 7545.50

The mileage will probably taper somewhat from here on out. I want to focus a little bit on getting the tandem out with the kids and my wife. I still have that "selfish" goal of wanting to hit 10,000 miles as well, so I will have to plan rides carefully!

Monthly Mileage Update

Ended up the month on pace for 9,964.88 miles for the year. As long as there is no major "burn out" factor, I should be well over that soon, especially with the Gut Check coming up in two weeks.

I'm now 4 weeks behind on my weekly mileage and unless somebody whose life absolutely hangs in the balance of my weekly updates, I'm just going to start again this week. I WILL however give you my monthly recap now.

A bit of a disappointing month as I had to take off three days late in the month, but still over 700 so I can't complain too much. June should definitely be a much better training month with Tour de Kota on tap.
