Status of Exercise goals at 6 month mark in 2005

My annual goals (set 01.05.2005) for exercise this year were as follows:

300% of 2004 distances:

Cycling: 3,000 miles; (approx. 65 mpweek [46 weeks available training]);
Running: 340 miles (approximately 7.4 mpweek [46weeks available training]); and
Swimming: ~120,000 yards (approximately 2600 yards/wk [46 weeks available]);

At the halfway point (that is 06.30.2005) -- here's where I am:

c: 1,174.2 miles;
r: 200.3 miles;
s: 66,490 yards; and
rowing: 474,097 meters.

rowing: No goal set for this -- but I'd definitely like to have, at bare minimum, 1,000,000 meters by the end of '05 -- and probably more like 1.5 million meters.

So, here's the math for the remainder of the year:

c: 3,000 - 1,174.2 = 1,825.8 miles; which is 70.2 miles per week on average (and likely ~79 given little riding during finals and other off weeks);

r: 200.3 - 340 [goal] = 139.7 miles = ~5.37 miles per week on average to make the running goal;

s: 120,000 yards - 66,490 = 53,510 yards to go; which is 2058 yards per week on average.

rowing: 474,097 meters - 1 million = 525,903 meters to go; which is ~20,227 meters per week on average. [1.5 million - 474,097 = 1,025,903 meters to go; which is 39,457 meters per week].

in short form:
c: 70.2 miles per week;
r: 5.37 miles per week;
s: 2058 yards per week;
row: 20,227 meters per week (or 39,457 meters per week if the goal is 1.5 million meters).


So I'm on track for all goals, ironically, except for cycling -- and for cycling I was about 325 miles short of the 50% "on track" goal. Cycling can easily be made up though. And now that I consider it a bit: Cycling is one of the few things that absolutely suffers when I travel. When I'm in Iowa for a week, then no cycling whatsoever -- so the 0 in that row for that week really drives down the average.

My solution to the problem is simple: Just ride more. The difference between setting up a week to ride 75 instead of 65 miles is pretty easy. And the truth is I could easily ride more like 100 miles per week for a few weeks just to drive the numbers up a bit.
