Temper, temper

2013 was a good year. No two ways about it, it may have been up and down but, ultimately, good.

In sum:

- Ran two half marathons in the space of two months
- Raised money for charity
- Lost about 3 stone
- Got a new job
- Started this blog!

It was a year that was an exercise in achievement and necessity. I have come out of it stronger and fitter; with scars fading and new porpoise.

If 2013 was the building season that I so desperately needed, 2014 should be consolidation and progression. Like Spurs under Tim Sherwood. I have made my list of seven resolutions that will start 02/01/14 (any resolution that starts on New Year's Day is destined to fail). A much shorter list than I anticipated but I have only included the biggies. I won't list them now but will report on these as and when they get passed/failed.

The one I will tell you about is that I will not be drinking for the entire year. Less of a necessity, more of an exercise in focus. I feel too good when I go through a period of temperance to not give it a go.

I won't list the resolutions but I will give the epithet by which I wish to live the next 364 days.

Go hard or go home
