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.

Pleased i have kept to all my runs so far. Heart rate is a little erratic with the lack of sleep, but feeling fitter.

Weekly Miles = 19 (if you include moved run) Current weight 13 stone 1 pound.

Starting a bit of a post christmas detox tomorrow so should lower weight a bit over next couple of weeks.

Sorry i haven't been posting on all your blogs, noah has been keeping us busy, will try and catch up soon. Have included a few piccies of the little one.
