New Year and just over a year to go


I managed to drink my own body weight over Christmas. Some feat when I weigh as much as I do. Unfortunately this isn't likely to let up with a weekend to Blackpool coming up. After that I will then be sober until my birthday (at least) which is 7 weeks away.

Even though I managed to drink so much over Christmas I have managed to maintain my weight which is  better than I thought I would do. Now the hard work starts of trying to lose the pounds. Especially to get under the first mental barrier of 15st.

Over Christmas I didn't really put in much training, mainly due to injury and otherwise due to hangovers. What I did manage to do was put in a decent 10k walk looping to Keynsham and back. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/163933752

This is going to be my main 10k route and it's one that I enjoy. I intend to walk it a few times before I start to run it. Literally walking before I can run.

I have also done a really adult thing and purchased an entire year's gym membership up front. No excuses now. It's also back in the gym that I achieved my fittest yet so hopefully it will add to the motiviation.

On the injury front my hamstring feels about 80% fixed but I still get tightness now and again. My knee on the other hand is very tight and has caused me lots of problems over the last few weeks. I have another physio session tomorrow so hopefully that will help on easing it out.

Here is to a year of hard but fun work.
