It just dawned on me that we are roughly 10% of the way through 2009. I already mentioned that Mike Wente was on track with his goals (just under 10% with biking, 11% of the way to the running and swimming goals). In addition, Rob Haaland is ahead of his goal-pace in running (12.7%) and biking (11.7%), and nearly there in swimming (9%). Lauren Liaboe is ahead of pace in running (11.5%) and also close in swimming (9.4%).
Everyone else is a bit further behind their goal pace. I am sure many put the bulk of their miles on during the more temperate months, and I know there are some who are building a base right now so they can pile up the miles later in the year (I know Becky and I fall into this category).
Congratulations to those that are on pace, that is very impressive for this early in the year. For those that are lagging behind, remember that the ultimate goal is health and fitness. Use your goals as motivation, but do not become a slave to the numbers. If you think you should take a week off of running, do so. If you want to Yoga or lift weights instead of biking for a while, do so. And then when you are ready, get back to the miles in a happy and healthy frame of mind.

I like this "on pace" thing Clay. I just had a very slow week for workouts and now I want to get back on pace. I think knowing that I'm just ahead or behind my 2009 mileage pace car will keep me going this week.
