Am I the only one looking forward to this year? All I see is facebook status’s, twitters, tumblrs and loud shouting in the street about how people really do NOT want to go back to work, or even get out of bed.

Hello? Anyone happy out there?

I feel like I’m a minority in wanting to grab 2009 by the balls, and wrestle the bastard to the ground until i’m rightfully declared the winner. In other words, life is good and this year is going to be fecking class.

Also, I feel it’s about time I actually publicly declare that i’m running the Liverpool Half Marathon in March.

I’ve been training for a few weeks. So far I’ve trained for 6 Weeks and I’ve clocked up 126km. Now if i can just run 24k of that on the day I’ll be OK.

By the way, I’m no way a sporty person. I’m still not, I decided to get fit, took up running and tried my best. Turns out I love it. I’m not great, not very fast, not very graceful but it’s the best way to de-stress, think, escape and just let loose. My first run I ran for 30 minutes and got 2 miles before dying. Now I run fast for 1hr 30 and still want to carry on (sometimes)

Anyway, fuck New Years resolutions. Stuff all those promises you fail at every year. Just try your best to just have fun. Find one thing good for you that you actually enjoy and bloody hell it might just stick.

Here are some fantastic websites that are good for helping get the best out of 2009.
