Anyone remembers their old New Year's resolutions?

I avoid making them, but I do like to set goals for the next year.

||

Well, you didn't regain, so that's a success!

||
||| Be able to reach the floor with my chest sitting with spread legs
||| (hamstring lexibility)
||
|| complete failure.

Do you really need such flexibility?

||
||| Stick to my WOE
||

|| to dieting, weight maintenance etc.

You stuck to your WOE until you decided to go a different way. Now you're
sticking to your new WOE. Success.

||
||| Walk 5x/week
||
|| I rarely walk anymore, but I run quite often. Been very busy last
|| week, repairing a military surplus generator, but normally I do run
|| about 5x per week.

Then you exceeded this one if you think in terms of goals rather than
keeping to what you said you'd do.

||
||| Strength training at least 5x/week.
||| Avoid sports related injury.
||
|| Still do some weight training 5x per week, but not as much as I would
|| like. This has been definitely the longest period of time when I
|| maintained strength training. I had a few enthusiastic starts in the
|| past, all ending within months.

Well, this one is sort of vague, imo. Training 5x/week sort of implies a
certain sort of training in order to keep it up. I personally think it is
better to keep training period than to force yourself to stick to a certain
protocol.

I don't call it a resolution, but I said I'd get a century done and I did
that last weekend. I was afraid it would elude me. My goal for 2005, as
far as riding is concerned, is to increase my average speed over distance.
That implies I do some other things.
