Just got back from Manhattan from my first all nighter in a very long time! Today's run is going to be interesting. To bed for now!

C • happy new year! 3

Okay, after an hour of failing to sleep, it is becoming clear that running today is a bad plan, TM. So I will restart the block of 4 tomorrow! Get the crummy days of the year out of the way early! Totally worth it, last night was a lot of fun. So good to be surrounded by lots of life and people!

Okay! You can't actually start a new year like that can you?! Managed to get to sleep at about 1pm, and slept for four hours or so. After a restoring spaghetti bolognese and a couple of episodes of Buffy (Including the highly appropriate "Beer Bad," although in this case it was more "Special cocktail totally disgusting but very potent and hideously expensive, and so must be drunk at all costs bad.") I decided to venture out for what I assumed would be a painful and slow jog. It was actually an easy cruisey run that felt really good the whole way, and I am now very pleased with myself.

I have never made resolutions before, but this year I am going to:

Run a sub 40 minute 10km
Run a sub 90 minute half marathon
Win an A meet race that isn't on Pine Hill where I first disqualify myself and then make 5 minutes less mistakes than everyone else makes in the second round

I'm not going to give myself a time frame, but given the summer heat a late spring 10km and an autumn half would make sense. This is going to take a lot of work but today has persuaded me that I can become a runner again.
