Little Goals & Small Victories

When you have big gaps in your race schedule (which let's be serious most of us do unless you live somewhere warm and can race more often)...it's important to create smaller/short term goals for yourself.  Maybe it's something as simple as getting 7+ hours of sleep all week, or swimming xx yardage, riding xx amount of time, keeping a food log.  There are countless different ways that you can create these goals, but I do think it's important to have them.  Some people need to write them down to see them daily, others just know what they are.  I like to set monthly goals for myself, it's fun to have something to work towards and then to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you're going to accomoplish that goal.  We're about half way through January already (crazy isn't it?!?!) so if you haven't made any goals yet, get after it.  You want them to be attainable, which doesn't mean easy, but within your reach while still putting forth the effort.
