I was, originally, a little worried about making my goal this year. My riding goal for 2004 is 4000 miles. This is week 17. As of the end of Saturday’s ride, I have 373.81 miles on my chart. This leaves 3626.19 miles left this year. There are 35 more weeks left this year. 3626.19 / 35 = 103.61 miles a week.
I just did some math a little bit ago and determined that, if I follow my 10% Focused Training Schedule and extend it another three weeks (so my last ride is over 100 miles long), I will get almost five thousand miles. So, I should be okay.
Sure feels good to be getting some miles in again.
