The aims - update
1. Quit smoking - I will do this, I have to do this. It just isn't going well. Unfortunately I've been looking at nipping out for a cigarette as a break and I've yet to find something to replace that need.
2. Finish Dormarth (NaNo novel) and get a copy for myself from LuLu - Was abandoned, but after talking to someone about it (thank you Funk) I've become determined to finish it once again. Only now it's a novella, not a novel.
3. Completely finish 'The Dullest Book Ever Written' before this years NaNo - As I've mentioned in a previous post, this book is now this years NaNo novel. Title will change, but all ideas are coming along nicely
4. New addition - I have a few short stories I've been working on. I want to get 3 short stories out to mags before the beginning of Nano this year.
5. Take 2 holidays - first one taken, second one completely paid for.
6. Do the Race For Life at Holme Pierrepoint in under 28 minutes (July). In training, although training has gone a little squiffy over the past few days due to heat, work and little ones first birthday. Off to gym again tomorrow though. No idea whether I will manage it under 28 minutes as all training has been done on the treadmill, which doesn't give an accurate view of times. For one, I know I can run easilt at 13km/h, however, I avoid doing that speed on the treadmill. I have been doing some speed work (hopping/short strides, then long strides) and I'm happy with my progress. So we shall see. I just hope the weather isn't too hot!
7. Begin running and train for Derby Dash (BHF). Yes, that one didn't work. Should have joined the gym sooner :p
8. Save up for luxury spa break (the full works) with mam - sorted. Will be going for my birthday.
9. Get under 70kg - did, went up a little, tiny bit, now back under. My main thing now is to make sure I continue exercising regularly.
10. Go white water rafting. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to be achievable this summer. But, I am still aiming to at least have a slip of paper which entitles me to a rafting experience by the end of this year.
Another addition...
11. Do the Hearts First Walk - High Peak Trail Winter Challenge Walk 2006. That's a 17 mile walk through the Peak District. "A 17 mile hike through Derbyshire's Peak District from Cromford Meadows, near Matlock, to Hurdlow, six miles south of Buxton. The Trail, a former railway line, crosses the limestone plateau of the White Peak with dramatic vistas, woody knolls, mysterious mounds and stone circles, and is a haven for rich animal and plant life. 17 miles may not be a marathon but in November in Derbyshire it's a serious challenge. Take up the challenge and you'll experience the camaraderie and good humour of over a thousand participants determined to get to Hurdlow and support the BHF"
