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.

Running over the last week, had an easy week which was good and to tie in have also been having a weeks detox. Lack of sleep still effecting heart rates a bit, but getting fitter again and no major twinges in the back.

14th January 5 mile easy run in 51.05 AV HR 152 68% whr
15th January 5 mile easy run in 51.33 AV HR 167 79% whr - same route bit strong head wind.
18th January 5 mile easy run in 50.20 AV HR 159 73% - Quite windy again.

Weekly Mileage 15 Miles
Weight: 12:10 - weight loss 3 pounds

Back on with an increase in training this week.

Noah is doing well and i'm still trying to find time to run, he's getting more of a personality now and getting a bit more stroppy, but a joy. Not looking forward to going back to work after this week has finished.
