    September goals?

    Goal #1: Oktoberfest starts on my birthday this month, so I guess my goal this month is to stay ahead of the calorie count by turning the pedals enough to indulge...

    Goal #2: Get fewer flats this month.

    Goal #3: Season is winding down, so it's time to start working in some fun fall rides with no particular training goals.

    September 3 - rode 14.7 miles for a duration of 1:06:09

    September goal: 225 miles

    9/1: 15.29 miles
    9/2: 29.18 miles
    9/3: 23.66 miles
    9/4: 37.95 miles
    9/9: 15.40 miles
    9/14: 30.39 miles
    9/15: 14.06 miles
    9/16: 15.55 miles
    9/20: 16.02 miles
    9/27: 12.24 miles

    Remaining to goal: 12.26 miles.

    Luckily I built up a cushion earlier in the month, as this last week work prevented me from doing my normal weekday riding, such as it is, despite amazing biking weather. With tomorrow (more of a running day, but I'll probably use my bike for errands) plus Monday and perhaps Tuesday I will make it, and if the weather holds up will try to get to 250 miles.

    Need 54 more miles in the next 2 days to reach 450 - which should be doable if I can avoid another nasty spill. I'm still trying to figure out if my latest road rash from Friday turning black is a bad thing... better get some more neosporin to be safe.

    With roughly 150 running miles planned for next month, and my triathlon swimming mileage starting to fall behind due to a sore shoulder, I may drop down to 300 miles for next month's challenge so I can spend more time in the pool and pounding the pavement.

    9/3 - 13 miles
    9/4 - 16 miles
    9/6 - 22 miles
    9/7 - 21 miles
    9/8 - 5 miles
    9/9 - 31 miles
    9/10 - 12 miles
    9/11 - 18 miles
    9/12 - 25 miles
    9/13 - 12 miles
    9/14 - 12 miles
    9/15 - 40 miles
    9/16 - 11 miles
    9/17 - 12 miles
    9/18 - 11 miles
    9/19 - 24 miles
    9/21 - 15 miles
    9/23 - 16 miles
    9/24 - 14 miles
    9/25 - 8 miles
    9/26 - 17 miles
    9/27 - 23 miles
    9/28 - 18 miles

    Total: 396 miles (14.1/day)
    Target 450 miles (15/day)

    54 miles left...

    200 miles ridden. Fell short by 50 miles. I'm heading out of town in the morning so no hope of getting 50 more miles by month end, BUT...... I am proud of what I've accomplished this month. I probably never rode that much in my life!

    Goal #1: Oktoberfest starts on my birthday this month, so I guess my goal this month is to stay ahead of the calorie count by turning the pedals enough to indulge... (So far, so good...)

    Goal #2: Get fewer flats this month. (None!!!)

    Goal #3: Season is winding down, so it's time to start working in some fun fall rides with no particular training goals. (Non-structured training has been fun this month, but I see my miles are way, way, way down. Luckily, I'm winning in the kitchen to keep the weight stable.)

    I'm like 3 km / 2 miles away from my september goal, so I'll definitively go for a quick ride tonight.

    Then, for October, I'm kinda of not sure about how I will determine my goal, it will start to be cold around here and I won't use my bike as often as usual. What is your strategy, for those of you who will be in a cold fall weather like us in Montreal?
