One big goal … Forres to Faro on my bike, a solo adventure to mark my 60th … it’s a monthlong meander, with 3-day stays in Shrewsbury (family birthday meal times!) and Salamanca (because, why not, and I hear it is lush).
January is shake down month for me … I’m letting things settle … work on bits that I’ve added to my goals list .. letting others go … hopefully by the end of the month I’ll have a better idea on what’s going to bring me a productive, healthy and adventurous year …
I've got my first big bikepack races this year in BC and I approach those the same way I've done my long distance running -- my goals are to do my best with training and just finish. I save time goals only after I've got a good sense of what I can do. Fortunately I've got a good network of friends who do them every year who will help me get out :)
Jenny has become my inspiration and appreciate how much emphasis she has put on setting our own goals. It is not about comparison. It is not how many kilometres, elevation, hours or days endured but doing something that challenges us mentally and physically.
My goals scare me but they are obtainable and quite ordinary for those who are more experienced than me. Yet they are my goals and thanks to Jenny I feel validated in wanting to pursue them.

Nothing like a Quitter's Week post to inspire you to keep going! :D

I have some intentions this year, but not goals. It’s not in my nature to count things and keep records of them.
Wynter looks lovely - a collie/husky cross??
