Searching For A New Goal April 19, 2007

I am one of those people who need a goal to stay engaged in my fitness routine. There is always a race to run, an event to keep me training. I was never consistent working out until I fell in love with running. Now that I am not running as much, I am having a tough time staying motivated. I think I need a new short term goal.
I am trying to do a lot of crosstraining, as I am recovering from plantar fasciitis. I’m scheduling with yoga classes with friends. I am going to take a strength training class with my friend Dot. As we get into cycling season and triathlon season, I am finding the urge to get on my bike again.
Last Summer I put together a riding group that met on Thursday nights. Sometimes we rode out to Redmond Towne Center (26 mile trip) and sometimes we did hills. Often it was just me and one other dedicated rider, and we’d play it by ear. The training was relaxed and fun. I ended the Summer feeling strong on the bike for my triathlons.
I am thinking about doing the 7 hills of Kirkland at the end of May. The elevation is 3,023 ft, but the course is only 38 miles or so. Anyone interested?
