mine is to swim 50km (over the year, not in one go)

I’m not a swimmer by the way but can swim.

Not to post on STW.

Ride 100 miles on the road bike in a day.

To win the lottery, buy lots of bikes and live somewhere in the mountains in another country which is substantially warmer and less wet than the UK.

If this morning is anything to go by.

Sober up.

Get mobile and out on the bike again by the end of March, and reasonably fit again by June.
Maybe even back to being one of the local fast boys by the end of Autumn

Sodding slipped discs / spinal operations!!

Make a full recovery and get back to the hills by April.

Be happier.

tinybits my empathy and sympathy.good luck,

mine pretty similar…………..bar the fast bit

A 16k ‘tough mudder’ type event in April

Not be as fat and unfit at the end of 2014 as the start, anything else is a bonus.

Lose a couple of stone, and train to be fitter. Not super athlete fit but just fitter would be nice!

Ride my bike a bit more.

1. Enter at least one run (tick, HM in March), one XC bike and one tri/AR this year.
2. Get back to 2009 race weight (4lbs since XMas is a start)
3. Sort work issues out
4. Look after my (widowed) mum
5. Read a lot more, watch a lot less

Get a good time in the Coniston end to end swim, and do the Corryvrecken swim.
Break 6 minutes for 400m swim.
Try and refind my motivation for cycling.

Thanks, Sat here, perched on the front of the sofa wearing an oh so fetching corset after my discoectomy on the 27th!

Feels better though, almost like I’m going to recover at last!

Oh, and forgot to add, would like to do a tough mudder in autumn.

Scottish 4000ers as a run/bike/run

After sobering up, obviously.

give myself a bj whilst standing on my head

Finish the flat that was euphemistically sold to me as “in need of improvement” three years ago…

Keep my back problems under control now I’ve found a decent osteopath

Either get on the works post grad development scheme or get another job

Do more around the house and garden

Eat better and ride better

Spend more time with my wife and my folks, whilst trying to keep them apart if they can’t/won’t be civil to each other

2 days ago I wanted to quit my job, ditch my girlfriend and leave the country.

Now the plan is ride bikes more and not have a breakdown along the way.

Oopps missed <6m 400m swim target!

Pictures or it didn’t happen

Ride the Walney to Whitby C2C, and do more distance rides on the road bike. Ride from here to my friends house in the North Lakes.

what you want me take a picture as well as performing my new years ambition ? pardon the pun what a ball breaker !

Finish Ironman Wales and hear those words “Fran you are an Ironman”!

Learn to use a proper camera.
Ride 3000 miles.
Read a book.

do more:

biking
climbing
running
job hunting

do less:

procrastinating
facebooking (and other pointless internet time)

Do much much less procrastinating. If I could do that then all the things I keep wanting to do would be done.

Keep a bike for more than 6 months

Ride my bikes more and go on a decent riding holiday again if I can afford it.

Find a job which means I can come home every night.

Appreciate my wife more, for the amount of stuff she has to put up with.

Got 1race booked already, hoping to do at least 2 or 3 more, spend more time on the bike and outdoors in general . Oh and start saving for the cottage!
