Got to keep it in perspective so that you still love what you do and let the numbers take care of themselves. 100 to 150 is hard going in keeping the enthusiasm going.

I'm now off running for at least month so the plan to finish on 20 overall in 2013 hasn't gone as expected. 100 before 50 (or in the same year as turning 50) is the aim. I made a few decisions running Nottingham marathon on Sunday which will oddly turn out for the best. As my lovely friend who was tolerating me said.."only do them because you enjoy them. Don't purely chase numbers." she's right!
