Week 21
okay all good in 2009 running wise –the big objective was achieved - start running - that’s done- I completed my runners world ‘run for 30 minutes programme’ and I’ve got five months running under my belt – dead chuffed - a little weight loss thrown in – booze intake was also down and since I was drinking wine nearly every night – this too is good - so its true running is fun and makes you feel healthier – since none of this was thought about or planned its all good start - when running you have less time for drinkingandhangovers - it’s a substitution really.

For next year I do have a plan – sort of – lose but clear - first off the wilmslow half marathon that’s the first target – given myself a target of under 2 hours for this – that’ll mean 9 min miles – I do around 9.5 in training so its possible – and it’ll be fun to try – beyond that I’ll do a couple of 10k’s methinks and then another half marathon towards the autumn – I don’t know what races – but that doesn’t matter – I’ll find those – for something different I might try a crosscountrythingy - think I’ll suit that .
Saboutit –after wilmslow will change my training plan to add some speedwork see if I can get some improvement in time – Last resolution – do not try marathon running this year
