Total mileage for 2017: 2865.7
My moxie, or gumption, seems to be evaporating as the year dwindles. It grows increasingly difficult for me to push myself to do more than a single round trip to Marsh Park. On this cool (38°) gray morning, I rode the 10.2 miles in 1:09. An additional factor was that rain was forecast to begin mid-morning, so I needed to get my ride done early, after beginning at 8:20.
Already this atrophy of my drive has cost me my goal of 4000 miles for the year, as I'd need to average 24.66 miles/day for the remaining 46 days in the year to make that goal. In summer weather, it might be thinkable ... but not now. If I can do the much more workable goal of 13.79 miles/day, I'd get back to last year's 3500 ... but even that will be a challenge, as I haven't done more than one round trip since October 25, when I did a whopping two.
Oh well, though. I guess I need to be glad for what I have been able to do, instead of pining over what I have not.
