New Years Resolutions!
« on: January 02, 2013 »
So what is everyone promising to do this year? I've been saying every year since 09 that I was finally going to get fit and do the Mountain Marathon. As you may have noticed I'm still flabby and get tired on the stairs ;)

This year though. Definitely!

I think I drunkenly uttered the phrase 3 peaks on New Years eve.


But if not all three of them definitely one of the big ones.

Me and my Brother are going to organise another easter camp this year. Like we did last year.  I think my girlfriend will be helping me out on this too.

Donard in an hour
Seven sevens

I heard someone was doing Donard 10x to simulate everest, but even if a magical genie granted me the fitness somehow 10x Donard in one day would bore me, I'd tune out and then trip over something because I was too bored to look.

Here's my challenges for this year:

Do at least 6 of the seven sevens! (did 4 in 2011, 5 in 2012)
Mourne Mountain Marathon (maybe class C, depends on my partner)
Run a half marathon, maybe even a full one! (might enter the Mourne Way Half Marathon)
Bivvy some of the seven sevens (2 done so far)
Get up and down Donard in 1hr 30
Do another highest peak in a different region (Caruntoohil, Ben Nevis, or Scafell Pike)
Explore some gulleys in the Mournes (Ben Crom, Cove & others)
Do more outdoor rock climbing.
Do a canoe camp (e.g. salt island)

I could add losing a stone but i don't really care what weight i am as long as i can get up the hills fast  :)

editted to add a couple more:
Do a snow camp (even if its in the back garden!)
Get all the Mournes geocaches (currently have about 80% done)
Do a few more orienteering events
Get to the 3rd chamber in Percy Bysshe Cave

We need to organise a trip across the sea then.  Get some of the big ones ticked off!

Number one for me has to be losing some serious weight,also on the cards is getting a wild camp each month.Another trip to the Macgillycuddy Reeks is also due before the Spring,thinking the " Big Gun " which is a real challenging scramble.

Speak to me about the Class C of the Mourne Mountian Marathon Liam. Even better let's train like Rocky, do the Class D and look like Heros with our time  ;D

No seriously I', looking for a partner for this years MMM so keep me in mind.

As for New Years resolutions I'm going to try another go at getting off the smokes. Did a 2 month stint there until a wedding knocked me off the wagon.

Anyone any tips for quitting smoking?
