Making goals is most times, super easy for me. Lately I have one goal that I am not quite ready to set.
Earlier this year I had a goal for a 100 mile bike race at the end of June. Then there was the whole gall bladder thing and that goal got thrown out the window.
I had decided then that I would make my own bike race. Just me, a backpack, and some yummies! And since I was making the rules, I have to actually make the rules! 🤣
I’ve gone back and forth on the distance thing. I’ve pretty much decided for September being the date. Yesterday, on my bike ride, I had planned a number of miles! I had decided on 45. It just seemed fitting. And I had decided that all miles would be on the bike trail. And maybe lunch half way.
Then, now, I’ve pulled up the map of the bike trail. It is 33 miles long. Soooo, if I made my goal 66 miles, I could start on one end. I could have lunch in the middle at a restaurant that overlooks a lake (*swoon*). And I could bike back to my van and drive home. Hmmm, this is tempting!! But, do I want to bike 66 miles? That would really be upping my training. I don’t know if I want that as a goal.
I’ve also thought, maybe I’ll look at bike trails up north more. I could get an AirBnb, go the 45 miles and rest in a cabin in the woods somewhere. Hmm, even writing it, that sounds more desireable.
Tonight I am thankful that in the times of indecision, the options are exciting! For now, I’ll keep biking. I’ll increase my distances. And I’ll keep researching options! For right now the goal is to be ready for whatever the end goal ends up being! 😁
