Goodbye April, Hellloooo MAY!

April has come and gone- that means its time to evaluate your past activity and set future goals! I like to keep track of my mileage on mapmyride.com, but I also keep a calendar on a dry erase board that I see everyday. My dry erase board happens to be in my laundry room.

I love the dry erase board for a couple of reasons- I love chalking up my mileage after each ride, while I'm folding laundry I can contemplate my progress and plan this weeks rides, its an easy way to keep track of weekly and monthly mileage and goals and it holds me accountable! You can find a free calendar here: http://www.printfree.com/Calendars.htm

My April goal was 50 miles per week and I blew that out of the water with 61.5 miles the first week, 63.75 miles the second week, 65.5 miles the third week, but took a nose dive on the fourth week due to pneumonia. I did manage 36 miles in the last 2 days of April- for a grand total of 277.75 miles, longest ride being 20 miles- THAT feels pretty darn good :) :) :)

Now to decide on May goals- you always need a goal! My May goals are:

• 75 miles per week;
• 300 miles for the month;
• longest ride to date of at least 40 miles; and 
• bike in 2 new states!

Happy May ya'll!!
