"Year's End"

I was rather looking forward to finishing the year off with a race  on New Year's Eve around Lyme Park and the Bowstones, but a rather heavy head cold (the first and last of the year) put a stop to that idea! It did give me the chance however to reflect on this year's running targets listed below and only a few of which I have achieved.

 Return to regular track sessions (no)

Cross train (no)

V50 3,000m record currently 11.55.8 (no)

Set V55 track records (yes...hurrah!)
Finish a 3000m steeplechase (no)

Learn to map read! (yes)

Target  - 50 races (45)
Target - 1350 miles (1175)

 Having said that I have been really happy to have a fairly injury (and illness!) free year, which is actually far more important than having and achieving targets. i ran some new races, particularly over the fells and even managed to run faster in a couple of races than in previous years. So for next year the aim is to just keep running, racing and enjoying it!
