New Year's Resolutions really suck.

So why did I make one?

I love running. I got back into it in December 2015 after years of not running a single step for about 6 years. I used to love it and ran a lot and started to get stress fractures. it put paid to my running efforts. I was scared to run in case I got another one and then had to suffer the disappointment of not being able to run again for months.

That fear sucked. It sucked big time in 2015 as I suffered the biggest bout of depression I have had so far.

Running is really one of those things that lifts my mood. It allows me into my thoughts (and not away from them which I originally thought would happen). Getting into your thoughts and being able to look at them calmly and logically is a great tool. When I run I am less anxious, when less anxious I am not so scared of taking a look inside.

So I hit January 1st, 2016 and decided I needed a running challenge that would stretch but not overwhelm me. So in 2016 I will run 1000 kilometres.

I would love you to join the challenge, we can cheer each other on!
