Welcome to 2016 my friends! Pat yourselves on the back - we have survived another year. I am looking forward to the coming year with an enthusiasm that I haven't felt for some time. I start the year with a job I am thoroughly enjoying, new friends who I am looking forward to getting to know better and a whole host of new challenges to throw myself into.
My dodgy leg is being ministered to by one of my talented colleagues who assures me that regular massage, stretching and appropriate exercises will soon have me back to full speed (not that I was known for my speediness prior to injury!). So the 100k Humber Bridge Sportive is back on the agenda, together with a night ride from Manchester to Blackpool to cycle along the sea front and enjoy the famous lights - assuming that the chaps at the local council remember to turn them on this year! I am hoping to round the cycling year off with a 100 mile Century Ride. As for swimming challenges, I am still looking for something that makes me think "that looks terrifying - let's do it!" but the lochs of Scotland are beckoning once again........or perhaps a sea swim??? On a more personal level I am moving forward, having met people who are helping me to build my self confidence and I think I am finally accepting myself for who and what I am and, dare I say it, learning to love myself. I have learned that I am not responsible for other peoples actions or choices; that I deserve to be treated with respect and that I am worth (that word again!) so much more. So my mantra for 2016 shall be "Know Your Worth", which I shall be using to measure both myself and others. My intention is for this year to be one full of personal bests during which I tackle things which scare me and, in doing so, lay a few ghosts to rest. I have been asked by quite a few of you to blog more regularly; you know what "they" say .......be careful what you wish for.......
