In December I wrote my goals for this year.  Since we are halfway through the year, let me update you on how it is going.

Complete 500 Peloton rides.  I had to pause my membership because I wasn’t taking full advantage of it.  However, I do know I have completed 360 rides.

Run 800 miles.  I might have to adjust this goal.  I am at 38% of my goal.

Run at least 5 races.  Today’s race will be #5.

Do one Peloton activity each day.  See above regarding 500 Peloton rides.

Read 12 books.  Done.

So let’s review how 2023 is going so far.
