Well, unfortunately my plan has been on the back burner for the last six months with one thing or another. However, I have been working on other goals in those six months so its not all gone to waste. I got a Santa Run 2009 application through the post last week which got me thinking again. I am currently training 5-6 days a week and my fitness is a lot better nowadays then what it use to be. I can now quite easily go for a 2-3 mile run without dropping down dead. So, I now wondering about doing this run so I can compare it to how i did last year. This might kick start the whole marathon thing again. There just isn’t enough hours in the day to be doing all this stuff!

Well, I did it! My other half gave me an ultimatum and I rose to the challenge. In the space of 3 days we booked a holiday, got on a plane and went to Tenerife. She reckoned that the amount of turbulence we had was the worst she has experienced and she’s been flying 10+ years. I likened it to riding on a very bumpy train and wasn’t too bothered by it. So all this time my fear has been nothing more than me panicing about nothing. Now I have overcome the flying thing I can now start notching up a few more of my goals.

Well this has come out of nowhere. First – one of my mates wanted someone to partner with him at Muay Thai so I volunteered and now 5 months later I’m still going strong. THEN he wanted a ground based martial art and we happened across two former national champions ( one british and one polish) who had just opened a judo club with the aim of being the best club in the country within 5 years. I am currently an orange belt and have my first competition in November. And thirdly, because we now have a stand up and a ground based martial art, both me and my mate are having a go at MMA next year. We’re also looking into BJJ at the mo.
