Benchmarks

Ok, so my main (i.e., not entirely vain) fitness goals have almost always been cardio and endurance related. This hasn't changed, so my three main benchmarks for the year are going to be:

		Current Best	Desired
5k Run		22:13	20:00
10 mile time trial		About 30:00	26:00
30 mile road ride		About 2:45:00	1:30:00

I don't have any current benchmarks for these, but I will endeavor to generate some posthaste. I'll be posting summaries of workouts aimed at meeting the goal times throughout the year

Additional, but secondary benchmarks and goals:

	Current Max	Desired Max
Dead lift	250	325
Back Squat	200	250
Bench press	160	200
Pull up	9 consecutive	20 consecutive

This last set is less objective and more embarrassing. I think these are how the numbers should
work out, but I'm more concerned with the waist size than I am with the weight.

	Current	Desired
waist	36	30
weight	197	175-180

The food diary is still going (although I may get what I need from that in one week) and I'm fully recovered from my holiday binges so short-term goal number one is to post some sort of progress within the next fourteen days.
