More Goals for 2008

I've been thinking about what I want to do this year and decided I would like to have a mileage goal for 2008 so I'd have something to keep me motivated during any future slumps that may come up. I've never even tracked my mileage to know what I've done but would now like to keep a weekly or monthly goal. So, my goal for 2008 is to run a total of (drumroll please) 1800 miles. That's "only" about 35 per week or 150 per month so it should be achievable and hopefully even exceedable. I will add a section to the blog with my accumulated mileage throughout the year.

I'd also like to bike a century this year and once Umstead is behind me I'll be able to focus on that. So that's another goal. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the area around here and the best way to do that is on the bike. You don't get to see much in the woods so it'll be a whole new venture!

My last goal for the year is to weigh at least 15 pounds less than I currenlty do. With all of the biking and running and newly added swimming, this should be a piece of cake. (probably shouldn't use a cake to describe anything having to do with losing weight?) I'm not sure how I'll accomplish that but I am determined so will figure it out. I will also add a section to show my weight loss! So far it's 0!
