Considering I smoked for the last 23 years and quit six months ago... I took up road cycling more seriously than ever before and now ride 40+ miles three days a week and two rides a week of whatever feels good at the time I think I am right on mark for my goals of the year so far.
I am on track to ride my first century ever on May 15 this year (which happens to be my 38th birthday) and if I make that, I have made my overall goal for the year! We will see what happens after that...
