I'm such a slacker
Well done norry, must be the day for it as I too reached the same figure todayReached my target of 5,200 today, even if I have slacked off the mileage over the last month or so. Need to get my brain in Winter mode and get the lights and mudguards sorted.
I hit my first target (4,000 miles) 6th May
I then hit my second target (10,000 miles) 9th September
Now going for my third target, 12,000 miles
Grrrrrr, @ianrauk , that not appreciated.. Nor knowing that I just cant beat yours miles, even with four years of trying...
Having a Holiday and a stag do back to back messed me up, made me lazy, took over a month to get going again. Otherwise I was on a roll and it would be closer... One year my friend, one year... If only @Auntie Helen would allow running miles into the mix...
Realistic. I hit my target for this year with no problems, upped it for a challenge ... and then ran out of motivation. In the end, I dropped it down to something I've got to work for and is more than I cycled last year, but is still achievable so I no longer have to stress about it. I immediately felt much better. After all, as I was reminded, it's all about having fun.I must have a go again next year, now that I am starting to feel better. The question is - do I set a tough target to inspire me, or a realistic target so I don't discourage myself by falling way short?
I think I might set the standard 10-miles-a-day, 3,650 mile year target. I could always upgrade that to 6,000 km, 4,000 miles and so on, if things went well.
Ah grasshopper, your good friend Martint is here to help.Set a lower target!! No more disappointments! Or do what I do, set a lower target and still miss it!Am getting really stressed about hitting my target. I need apx 36miles everyday till the end of the year, baring 4 days off, to hit my target. I really want to hit my target..
But..
Am also in Marathon running training for the London Marathon.. My poor legs dont know what the hell is going on.
But...
I MUST HIT MY TARGET. Mtfu huh. ha
