Goals

With the new year (Why the new year starts at this particular point in the astronomical year and not at some sensical time, like an equinox or solstice is due to religion. It figures religion causes something non-sensical, but I digress.), most people go for goal setting. I decided to do the same and set goals for both running miles and moving minutes. No, I'm not going to disclose specifics, but I will be happy to share my progress graphically. Below is the graph for running this year. Yay! I'm ahead of my goal pace! Unfortunately, the goal pace will not flatten, and every day I take off from running, my actual mileage does do that. Hmm, better get my butt out there before blue catches green!

Running mileage vs. goal pace

What do I mean by moving minutes? I the probable event of an injury that precludes me doing any running, I still can get out and be active by walking, geocaching with my kids, swimming (in my case, floundering in water), biking, etc. You get the idea. I have goals for both mileage and time spent. This means I'll pretty much have my Garmin strapped to me when I'm outdoors, but that's OK, the battery life is pretty good.
I'll update the blog periodically with graphs. At least while I'm ahead of the game!
