New Year and resolutions

I've never been big on new year resolutions, and where I have made them I didn't last very long. outdoor adventures was a motivational tool I devised las year when I was really struggling to get out and do anything. 2010 was good in many ways (I did a few 5k, 10k races and managed my first two ever half marathons). From then on, it went all downhill. A rest after half number two led to a too-long layover into late winter 2011, and ever attempt to raise my game after that led to dismal failure. Two 10ks and both circa 1:06 times.... A good 10 mins off PB time. The latest setback was losing the dongle for my Garmin... Can't record what I don't run though can I? The single highlight was 10k number two that was in San Diego on 4th July! So anyway, new year resolutions.... I endeavour to exercise a Minimum of once a week. From there, I really want to get back to being able to run 10 k at least. Four miles was the furthest I ran in the whole of 2011! I was starting to enjoy my cycling, and getting Storm was anther highlight of 2011... So getting back in the saddle and increasing my endurance on the bike would be great too. I really hoped my dongle would show up if I just stopped looking for it. It will probably show up after I knuckle down and spend the £30+ to replace it! RunKeeper on the nokia has so far been a dismal failure, bt one use and several failed uses is not enough for a definitive view on it... Try and try again? It may work next time! Anyway, I will order a new dongle today and maybe find the old one tomorrow! Here's hoping! I need to find scales that work, as I fear that I have put on loads of weight in 2011. Maybe knowing the weight will be a motivating factor in getting fit again! So hopefully 2012 will see more adventures including running, cycling, hill walking and fell running. Hope to make this blog a more regular feature in the next 52 weeks....
