New Years Resolutions
It's almost time for new years resolutions so here's mine:-
I will take up long distance running again in 2012.
This will involve a complete lifestyle change. Firstly I will have to stop smoking ( groan ) and that means that i have to stop drinking as well because the two go together for me.
I used to be able to run 13 miles. It will be interesting to see if its possible to get back to that level of fitness and if so, how long it will take.
Have you settled on a new years resolution yet ? If so what impossible task have you set yourself? Post below and review progress in comments over the coming months. Crowd source your will power!!!
I know I'll need help and encouragement with the new fitness regime
Diolch....I'll check it out
I will look for a half marathon in the Portland area. No desire to run the full distance. The first guy to do that dropped dead from exhaustion
Not a good ad. Also , all that wobbling when you hit the wall might be a trifle embarrassing.
If you ran in an official event, you could also get people to sponsor you and raise money for a good cause!
As to what I'm doing, I don't do New Year Resolutions, never have. To be honest, New Year is a bit of a non-event for me. However, I have set myself some challenges that I might talk about as the year progresses.
OK enough about me already
What does anyone else plan to do?
Never actually run the distance in a competition but that would be one way around the verification problem. Diolch for the suggestion Helen
Good luck!
Regarding verification, you could always enter a half-marathon and create a video showing edited highlights of the run.
Also, it would be a good idea to set some interim goals, like a 5 k run and a 10 k run to build up to your final goal of 13 miles.
Reminding you of this moment, and the certainty of the bitter taste of crow in the event you weaken, are the best "help and encouragement" I think I can offer!
Sorry Brett ...I was away from the screen for a few mins...cant guarantee 13 miles by the 12th BUT some time next year definitely. Swansea doesnt think I'll last till the 12th with the new regime of abstinence which will be necessary to undertake requisite training. We shall see
13 miles by January 12th or sometime next year?
I note that your new beer glass is somewhat larger than your old one.....hmmmmmmmmm
