The holidays are over now and they were crazy.  The food, the family, and trips out of town.

Now its 2008 and time for New Year Resolutions.  The truth is that most resolutions that get made don’t get accomplished.

The most common resolution is to improve personal fitness and that can be the most difficult resolution to keep at times.  There are a lot of ways to go wrong like:

• Setting unrealistic goals almost always ensure failure.
• If you set goals that you cannot reach then as you start to fail you can also start to get discouraged.
• Settings goals that are too easy
• if you set goals that are too easy to meet you won’t ever reach your full potential.  Although it is good that you are doing something.
• Deciding to make large abrupt changes in your life.
• Deciding to cut out all junk food for example is almost impossible for anyone to hold up.  You are better off to cut out things like soda and make healthier snack decisions.  Allowing your self to indulge every once in a while won’t derail your plan as long as its not too frequently.

So my new years resolution is to be more consistent with my training this season and I have set a goal of riding at least 5000 miles this year.  I need to ride an average of 100 miles per week to reach my goal.

What is your new years resolution?  Let us know in the comments.
