Well I'm keeping up with the exercise part of janathon but I guess blogging two days in one go is against the rules?!! oh well..
Had a slow paced 3 miler yesterday with mu soon to be brother in law Batman (yes that is the correct spelling of his surname!!) Today was a 1000m swim. Swimming is definitely not a strong point but something I enjoy.
Batman and I have tentatively decided to attempt an Iron man in 2013... As yet I haven't mentioned this to Mrs runingtaz!! I intend to keep this blog going after janathon as I diary and way of staying focused on the goal of IRONMAN 2013!! This is something that has been on my mind for a while but Its only since reading the Brilliant 'can't swim, can't ride, can't run' by Andy Holgate that I've had the confidence to commit to achieving it. If you're even remotely interested in Triathlon you'll love this book.
See ya.

Mud!!
First run of the new year out of the way, a nice gentle 3 miles around Chorlton meadows and the Mersey valley. However to say it was a bit muddy would be a massive understatement! note to self..... wear you trail shoes by the river in the winter!!
3.3 miles

Here comes 2012/ first forray into blogging!
Well, here it comes again.... new year with all its good intentions and new running goals, most of which usually end up out of the window by the second week of January!
Well this year is going to be different..... I just stumbled across something called Janathon which has prompted me not only to start blogging but also not fall of any sort of exercise/alcohol wagon till at least February!
Targets for 2012
1 Manchester marathon 29 April
Having decided not to do anymore marathons (IT band issues!) I noticed this one started and finished at the end of my road!! Not hoping for anything special but would like to get under 4.25 to stop by soon to be brother in law gloating after he beat my time in the VLM last year!
2 Manchester 10k
Not expecting much here as its shortly after the marathon.
3 an olympic distance triathlon probably tatton park in september.
I did the tatton sprint triathlon last year and absolutely loved it!
4 Drink less, starting with a dry January......
5 Keep this blog going!
Before I go, I'd better introduce you to my training partner Scott!
