I agree... I feel like process based goals are something I need to include in my 2007 plan. Last year, I thought I had a process oriented goal in my 2006 plan, specifically "Weight training discipline" but the truth is, that wasn't specific enough, and I totally failed to follow through on it. This year, I was about to repeat the same mistake. So I need to think of a good way to capture this process goal. Maybe it's as simple as saying "Do a 3 day repeat weight training routine for 90 days straight"... I guess I need to think about it some more in the next couple days. My friend Phil (who rescued me today after my second bike crash on the ice) has set a 90 day process goal in the past and been very happy with the results. A couple years ago he set a goal of doing at least 1 hour of exercise every day for 90 days straight. He reports that this goal kept him honest and on track, and he had one of the best "endurance" years of his life completing a 1 day STP and riding 500 miles and 50,000 feet of elevation gain in 10 days as part of his cycle trip down the west coast of the United States. He plans a similar goal this year, with a target to ride the Torture 10,000 cycle century. Great post Gary, and thanks for the mention of my blog.
