Yesterday I went out for my first run of the year, after a fortnight of eating too much and being lazy. My excuse for not going out was the snow, ice and cold would not go away and it’s no fun running in those conditions. But with Christmas and New Year it was a great excuse to be lazy. Thanks to that it made me first run feel really great.

I now have to go back to my normal routine of running four times a week and doing some weight training. I didn’t reach my goal of running a 5k and a 10k last year, so this is what my aim will be now. I suppose the best way to encourage me is to find an event and register for it. A post to follow on that.
