I want to do a half marathon in 2025 and I think a watch will help me train.

I ran a half marathon on the trail Saturday with a slight hangover. Took about 1:55, which isn’t a great speed, but not bad considering the terrain and physical state.

I have faith in you. There are plenty of training programs out there to help you build up to it in a few months, depending on your current physical condition.

Perhaps one day, I just have to concentrate on losing weight for now!

[Danster]

If I did one I'd be absolutely thrilled with anything under 2 hours!!!

Got back to running this week for the first time in December, only did a couple of runs just over 4km but it's a start. I've asked for running gloves for Christmas and I might treat myself to a lightweight running jacket so that I stop using the cold as an excuse to stay in.

I broke a sweat while eating a cheeseburger earlier today.

Work are doing a "Step into 2025" initiative in January, a competition to see who can rack up the most steps in a month. The competitive side of me is determined to win it and it'll be a good incentive to get me out in a month when I traditionally do nothing.

How are the health goals going? Any improvement on the running front?

I have managed to lose some weight but healing from an injury. Almost ready to get back at it.
