As I entered my yardage in my Fitness Log today, I noticed that we are 20% through the year. I also noticed that I’m about 10 miles behind my goal pace. My new mini goal is to get back on pace by the end of March… I want that Nike draw string bag!!!
I’m finding that having a Goal and the annoying reminder “You'll need to pick up the pace to achieve your goal this year:” is actually working to get me to the pool on days that I would in the past have skipped.
How about you?
I don't want a Stuart Smalley mode. I guess people didn't understand my explanation about the current mode (or these responses are completely tongue-in-cheek and nobody really wants Jim to implement any of them). When you have a huge hole in your yardage for whatever reason, continuing to average it in, even after it's long in the past, makes the nag pretty useless, because it's not properly weighting more recent activity.
I think Mary Sweat still maintains the Excel Spreadsheet that she started in the days before we had the online FLOGs for GTD tracking. You might be interested in this because it will give you a better view of how you're doing with the graphs, etc. It's really great and I'd still use it except for the convenience of the online tool.
And, yeah, I was totally being tongue-in-cheek with the Stuart Smalley thing. :)
