March Goals

I was supposed to have my list of Goals done by now, but it looks like another work in progress. As long as I make progress, I guess it's OK.

I was wondering the other day if I could run 2011 miles this year. I did 1022 last year, and that's with Sept, Oct, and Nov mostly off running. 934 miles before IMWI, 88 miles afterward and 54 of those were December alone.

2011 miles in 52 weeks means 38-39 miles/week, or 5.5 miles a day. We are 61 days into the year, so I should be at 335.5 miles by now. And I'm only at 285 miles, or 50 miles behind. Great, I'm behind again. To catch-up I need 40m/week. Yikes.

My swim goal was 100 miles this year. Last year I did 128255 yards or 72.8 miles, with 72.6 of that leading up to IMWI. Nothing like a shoulder injury to knock down swim mileage. (And no wonder my swim sucks so far this year...) So far this year, I'm at 9.49 miles. To get to 100, I'll need to swim 0.274 miles/day (miles/day easier than miles/week). Which means I should be at 16.7 miles. Behind, as expected. To catch-up? Just need 2.12 miles/week or 3731y/week. This I can handle. If I can get to the pool.

Geez, should I even think about the bike? Why don't I leave that one alone, and that way I'm not behind on it. Well this was a fun and depressing way to spend lunch.
