Now what do I do

Today, August 27th I reached (and surpassed) my goal of 1,500km blading this year. This achievement is interesting as it was exactly one year ago (August 27th) that I reached my 1,200km goal of last year.

Some more, interesting statistics. It took me 79 blades to reach 1,200km last year, and 79 blades to reach 1,500km this year. I find it interesting that I reached the 79 blade milestone on the same day.
I have reached or surpassed most of my records this year:

Best Month: 406km (June)
Best Week: 178km
Best Day: 46km

I have also averaged 19.31km per blade, up from 15.12km last year and my previous record of 15.48km in 2002 (when my course was 17.5km). This is mainly due to the fact that I changed my daily blade from 15km to 23km. Today I also surpassed 5,000km as my total for the 4 years I have kept track of my distance. It has been a good year. I have surpassed my monthly totals in 4 of the 6 months recorded so far and am on-track to potentially reach 2,000km and 100 blades.

Now I have to consider what next years goal will be. I am thinking that 2,000km would be a good goal and upping my daily blade from 23km to 25km.
Will see.
