i’m going to knock drinking on the head for Jan and Feb - felt liek shit the last three days due too a heavy saturday drinking, fucks up all my plans!!!
YOU?
i love new years resolutions, i find it a great positive way to start the year afresh and a useful guide to becoming a better, more positive, more productive, joyful me!!!
No smoking and only very occasional until April 2nd (this is more the new year being a good cut off point for getting into full marathon training mode than any particular NYR)
I’m not making resolutions as such (lose weight, stop drinking blah blah) but instead I like the idea of setting myself a challenge e.g to run a certain amount of miles in the next year. I’ve just got a year’s Odeon Limitless card so I’ve set a target of going to see 52 films by the end of 2017.
The big resolution of course is to get my house, job and life into a state that I can sell up, go traveling then move back to Scotland.
I rarely make ones banning myself from doing anything. I guess this year’s one is Have More Fun, because 2016 was too much of a slog.
Also, as a fellow January birthday person, you understand my automatic disapproval of people spending January strictly giving up everything and not being up for doing things only to fold in February.
It’s true though, most of my reading came from having a shit long commute and now that’s gone I just don’t… read any more. Same with music, though I can’t be fucking arsed with music any more really.
Be more assertive and actually voice concerns rather than internalise them
Do the Hackney Half in a better time than this year
Continue to run at least 10k a week after the Hackney Half at the very least
Either toast for breakfast or a sandwich at lunch, never both
