Everything is going to be alright

This year has been a bit of a dud in terms of fitness achievements.

I did two marathons and they were both very slow and while there were valid ~~excuse~~s reasons for my poor performances it still rankles a bit. I’ve had to stop running (for 3 weeks before one of the marathons) due to a chest infection and that really knocked me back mentally and I resorted to a bit too much ~~comfort~~ food. I then picked up an injury and haven’t been running for pretty much the whole of November. So I’m finishing the year slower and fatter than I started it.

On the other hand, I did finish in the top half of an (awesome) ULTRA MARATHON! Plus, I did complete two full marathons on top of that. So it’s not like I’ve been slacking off or anything.

The good news is that I got the all clear to start running again today so I’m back. I just signed up to try and run at least 2012 km in 2012 on DailyMile. Having said that I wonder if I can get 2011km in 2011? 52km in 4 weeks…I can do that!

Anytime you finish a marathon, that’s an accomplishment in its own right.

You’ve already accomplished more than 99% of the population by setting yourself a fitness goal. Good luck hitting those goals!
