OK so I'm a tad late on this post, I'll blame my course as I was away in Manchester for 2 nights with no Internet access! Right then resolutions? Hmmm Ok here goes.
Stop eating diet food - was sent a free sample of slimfast soup which was so foul I didn't eat it and when I looked at it the slimfast was worse nutritionally than Heinz Big Soup!
Run 500m in 2007, did 400m in 2006 and if I can do 40m per month this is 480m, just add a couple of races and a couple of good weeks and Bob's your uncle!
Aim to do the 5K swimathon (did my fastest 1m swim Christmas week - 43mins) This means I need to do some swimming! Gnome wants to do the Green Park Challenge at the Reading half marathon so I may see if I can swim this at Reading.
Drink more eat less lose weight eat more fruit (the normal!) Well you expected that didn't you! The ladies in the team attached to mine are doing a team "diet" as of Monday so I am joining in. This also means I will/have stopped WW. I have all the information I need and think I will get more support from the ladies I work with (and daily!) than a weekly class of people I don't know. Saves money too!
Max race of a half towards the end of the year so work on shorter distances and speed. I want to do the Hydro Active 5k in Brum again (with V-rap) and smash my PB. So that's a goal for September. Maybe do a half in October?
More consistency in running (aim for 3 runs during the week) see comments on annual mileage!
Pass probationary period here and try to get to a higher job grade during 2007
Actually read the magazines I buy and don't buy new ones until I have read the ones I have!
Do some extra exercise like stretches and toning. Said that before haven't I!
Today I went for a run. Well I went to the Post Office in my kit faster than a walk and proceeded back to the office in a longer route than required faster than walking! I had a parcel to post so took it with me. There was a massive queue so after waiting for a couple of mins to see if it was moving I carried on carrying my parcel! Well A4 envelope with stuff in not a huge box or anything!
The run today resulted in a "at least I got out" affair as it was really slow, more walking than running, legs heavy and tired and my calves tight. This could be due to the race or indeed the long drive to Manchester and back as I am not used to long drives. Anyway I wasn't a happy Pixie! My parcel wasn't posted, I skinned my knuckle on the handle of the security gate and it was slow with bad legs! I mean there wasn't anything positive about it really!
Tomorrow Gnome and I are shopping and swimming. Hubby is on weekends so if I want my 3rd run of the week then I will be out after dark (in my new reflective bib) tomorrow (hmm that will be a double) unless I can get up early on Sunday! Unless!
Anyways that's my thoughts for the year ahead! Lets see what happens hey?!

your goals are easily achievable-you will do those no worries
no biggies this year?
I seem to fail on big goals so small achievable ones for me which when added up may give some big improvements! well that's the plan!
Good luck with your goals - Im sure you can achieve all of them
btw - Green Park Challenge starts at 8.30 this year, so I'll be doing it with the boys as a warm up to the Half!
good point
heres to a good 2007 then
