Goals are nice and have their place, but if you start beating yourself up because you haven't achieved them, they're doing more damage than good. Just ride your bike and enjoy it. You'll find that you'll naturally want to increase your distance, will take harder routes, ride faster, all without worrying about it, simply by listening to your legs and heart (emotions). On the other hand, if you're psychologically tuned to chase training programs, do that. It's a matter of finding out what you like doing and while that'll change through the year and over time, if you do what makes you smile, be it cruise or chase a training program, you'll keep riding. Force yourself to do something that doesn't suit you, and you'll stop.
