Becoming more active was one of my aims for 2019, but it took me until the end of the year to do something about it.

Becoming more active was one of my aims for 2019.

But it took me until the end of the year to do something about it. In November, I signed up to ‘Race At Your Pace’ to give me a goal to focus on…

In November, I clocked up over 75 miles by walking, and in December I completed over 100 miles as a combination of walking and running.

I never thought I would say this as I used to hate running…but now I’m starting to enjoy it?!

Am I planning on running a marathon?! Nope. Can I run for any great distance without needing to stop for air!? Nope, not yet. But am I feeling better about my physical and mental health because of running several times a week; yes, I think I am.

I don’t know what this year will bring, but I’m glad I didn’t wait until the new year to start a new challenge. New habits don’t have to begin on January 1st… You have 365 opportunities a year to make a change, and there is no better day than today…
