The first ride of the year – apart from being 1-for-1 on the ride-every-day commitment – projects an amazing pace for total miles ridden for the year.
One day. First step. Just start. One day at a time leads to loads of days in a row. And then months. Years perhaps.
But, remember, no one thought any less of Joe DiMaggio when he failed to get a hit in the 57th game after doing so successfully in the previous 56.
The next day, he just started another streak and kept going.
Streaks are nice to maintain but when broken are not a failure. Just start on another. Maybe count how many consecutive restarts you have achieved, which shows persistence and a desire to keep going, to keep getting better.

Today was a good day. A new year, a new start. Not too cold and quiet roads. 15 miles/25kms … on a pace for 5,475 miles/9,125kms – let’s see how it goes even if the streak is broken!
