I don’t make New Year Resolutions. I don’t see the point in them. But …..
2019 will be a significant year for me. In February I have a significant birthday. I will be turning 60 (or more according to some). So I want to have something to aim for.
In my training with Ben we set goals for each 12 week period. These have included things like leaning out, bulking up, doing a certain number of pull ups, etc. These are all very worthy goals, but this year I want to find something that is more than a short term goal, more of a target which will take me out of my comfort zone and will have an impact on my training regime.
I have put a lot of thought into this and have come up with the idea of doing an obstacle race. I’m not sure that I am ready for a Tough Mudder but there is also the Rough Runner obstacle races.
I don’t know if this is realistic, but it will give me something to aim for and make me do things that I do not normally do.
For a start the word race implies running. This is not something I would normally do. I jog a little on the treadmill at the gym, but to actually run? Not something a Grumpy Old Man would normally do, but I am willing to give it a go.
What do you all think? Please let me know in the comments or on my social media sites.
