0 to 3,300 in 1 year.

I tried this last year.  I was 32 so I wanted to do 32 pushups a day for the year.  I think that lasted 5... maybe 6 days.  But I hate pushups.  I only do them because I feel like I'm supposed to.  Sort of like drinking a "recovery" smoothie after a hard workout when all I really want is a sleeve of Oreos.  Strength training is one of those things that is without a doubt good for you but I'm HORRIBLE at scheduling it it and getting it done because I'm just not inspired.  I'm working on that.

Back to my goal this year.  I have a bunch and that in itself might be a problem.  But a good lesson I've learned recently is that looking toward the future is necessary when keeping yourself from spiraling in the present.  So I saw that one of my heroes (Kara Goucher) posted a "Run 2015 miles in 2015" challenge.  That averages out to a little over 5 miles a day.  Totally doable if running was all I did.  But, in the summer season when I'm riding a ton for work and play, I drop back my running miles and I like that, I'm not willing to give that up.  But I really like this whole mileage for the year goal too.  SO, I came up with this.  I'm 33 this year so I'm going to run OR ride 3,300 miles in 2015.  That breaks down to about 10 miles a day.  Bring it.

I use various technology for each sport so I'm going to keep track of it all manually in a notebook.  Another thought is that my spin classes will count, but the mileage tracked on the bike is really off so I'm going to take my average mph that I normally ride and put that into the length of time I'm in class.

I think I'm most curious if this will be something I really have to go after or if it will add itself up during my normal activities.  Here's hoping it's the latter or my next December is going to be a busy one.  :)
