New Year, New Approach

Right 2008 is going to be my year to make changes and do things properly.

I've got a couple of targets to aim to so that's going to make it easier. I'm still doing the BBBR in May but I've also been roped into the Liverpool Half Marathon at the end of March. The idea is to train for the run up until March with a specific training plan but throw in a few walking days and rides then after the run kick hard into more cycling. This way I'll have a good all round fitness and just need to build up the all day stamina and strengthen the ass for the saddle. I've already been out running at 5am and dropped the car for getting to work. I can tell it's going to be hard work but It'll all pay off in the end.

I'm also kicking into gear to get the sponsorship in, I've had posters put up all round work and I'm going to see about getting some professional ones done. Today I posted a few letters out to local bikes hops again asking for stuff for the ride and sponsorship, also I've given some to local restaurants and shops in the hopes that I can get some free stuff to raffle or auction to raise that little bit more.

If anyone knows of anyone who they think would like to help or can offer something please point them in my direction.
