This year, I’m not making any New Year’s resolutions, but am stating some ambitions for the year. I’m only starting with 2, although more may be added later.
1. Be able to run 5k. It’s been a long time since I could do this comfortably, so the ambition is to get back into shape to be able to make this target. It involves eating better and doing more exercise, but it is all tied into a achievable goal instead of more nebulous aims of ‘exercising more’ or ‘eating less’.
2. To visit 10 new cities this year. Some of these are already planned in, I’m planning to see Melbourne and Adelaide in my trip to Australia so will count these. Following on from last year’s cathedral trips, I’m planning on going to Canterbury and Ely. Everything else is up in the air, so any suggestions would be welcome. The only condition is they need to be low cost to get to by public transport (or a cheap flight) and be doable in a day or 2 at a weekend.
How about you, are you doing resolutions this year?
Perhaps you can combine both ambitions and run around some new cities. Good luck wih this. Sounds like it’ll be a great year for you!
Cathedrals – you must visit Seville
I’ve done Barcelona but not the cathedral at Seville. I’ve been there a few times for rowing camps over the new year, but never actually got away from the training camp!
