I don’t normally make new year’s resolutions but I feel somehow that this year (after the cancer and all) is special. I’ve been given a new lease of life, and I should embrace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring. But, it can’t be any worse than 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of my resolutions (lets call them goals) might seem really easy, and not all that ambitious. Others might seem overly ambitious. It really doesn’t matter, I just need to set some goals, and to shame myself into reaching them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a handful of private ones, but these are my public goals;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. I’m going to run 1000 miles this year<\/li>
  2. I’m going to run a sub 60 minute 10km this year<\/li>
  3. I’m going to run a half marathon this year<\/li>
  4. I’m going to tell my story to 10 million people I’ve never met<\/li>
  5. I’m going to write a book<\/li>
  6. I’m going to publish a podcast this year<\/li>
  7. I’m going to hold a plank for 2 minutes<\/li>
  8. I’m going to do 15 pull ups<\/li>
  9. I’m going to dead lift double my body weight<\/li>
  10. I’m going to complete a crazy challenge<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That’s it, just 10 simple goals. But 10 goals that will change my life when I reach them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I’m going to get started with the writing<\/a> and fitness ones, and it’s going to tick off the last one too. Which brings me neatly on to my next trick… 75 hard<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
