New Year Resolutions....

After a very refreshing New Year break on the beautiful wild Lincolnshire coast Tonbridge Blog is back in the Garden of England feeling enlivened (if a little hung over.) It wasn't all partying for me though over the festive period, oh no I won't be accused of that. In fact I worked for most of it. I also did alot of visiting of family and friends as is right and proper. Oh and I also dug deep and did quite a few grueling 4 or 5 mile runs. Actually rather pleasant ones along the seafront. That leads me on nicely to mention a couple of events for the diary this year. The Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon is on Sunday, February 24th and The Tonbridge Half is later in the year on September 22nd. Having lapsed a little in the second half of last year, I'm starting to train for these now although I'm not sure I fancy the TWells one as it is more than a bit hilly in places. The course record is just over 4 minutes but I'd be pleased if I cracked two hours. So New Year for me is about setting a few fitness challenges and personal goals and actually meaning it and setting an action plan in order to achieve my realistic objectives. On the other hand I might just go down the pub! Here's to you all meeting your own personal goals in Tonbridge and beyond . Realise your dreams in 2013. Hey, that (almost) rhymes....

4 minutes would be quite something for 13.1 miles! Well spotted and I'm glad it caused some amusement! There should of course be a six in front of that to make it 64 minutes. Pretty good going though nonetheless....

I see Jessops have gone bust. I'll give you ten to one odds that the Tonbridge branch will languish as a boarded up eye-sore for a few months, and then from the ashes shall rise....Well...Another charity shop, probably.
