Overview

Well a new year is here and it's going to be very different for me from now on with the arrival of Noah on Boxing Day. My targets for the next year are as follows:

To increase my mileage. Target = Beat last years total. Stretch Target = run more than 1000 miles.

To improve my 10K PB Target = Improve current PB. Stretch Target = run under 45 minutes

To improve my Hlf marathon time from last year Target = Run sub 1h 58 half marathon again. Stretch Target + Have a stab at my half marathon PB of 1hr 53m.

To keep my diet and weight under controlTarget = loose 5 pounds to get back to last summers weight. Stretch target = Reduce weight to between 12 stone and 12 stone 4.

My new motivation is to be a fit and healthy Dad for Noah in the future so we can do everything together that he may or I may wish to do in the future

Happy New Year all and good luck with you aims and targets for 2009.

24th January 2 miles easy run - Ran in Matlock at my parents so few hills and broken by a visit to Sainsburys to get my Nan's birthday present. 1.90 miles in 20.05 AV HR 166 77% Heart rate still all over the place.

25th January9 mile long run - Went out slowly and took my normal route and sort of ended up as part of the Gloucester Marathon as they runs on my Training route. strange running the opposite way to all the people when it is normally pretty quiet on a sunday on the turn round cam e back with a few runners - felt like a bit of a cheat as i was only doing 9 miles - took my mind off my high heart rate which helped and it went down. After a mile turned off the route as i was getting a few strange looks from the stewards!

Good run, not quick but felt comfortable and happy.
