My first 11-miler… whew!

Both months I have found that my mileage is adding up more quickly than I anticipated. So both times I have raised my official goal, thinking I need a continuing challenge to keep me working. Now I notice some of you are basking in the thought that you have reached your goal early and are now earning "bonus miles". Do you find that you don't slack off? I think I probably would. Or is there an award for "bonus miles" I haven't heard about so far?

Just wondering about other folks experience.

@ 319Sara - It's a personal choice. Some people are more motivated by busting their goal and seeing how may bonus miles they can rack up. Others will hit their goal and start to back off resting up for the following month or just basking in the glory of having hit their goal. Some people really need to see that goal up there and try to push for it. It doesn't matter if they make it or not, they just need to see it up really high so they can push for it. Everyone needs to figure it out for themselves. I happen to be one of the guys that if I get close to my goal early in the month, I will push my goal higher. I may not make it every month, but some months I just do better than expected and I'll push my goal higher. Dave is nice enough to keep adjusting my goal if I need to. I never bring it down but I have been known to push it up.
