Just doing something, even if its only a 30 minute walk at lunch time, a 2k lap round the block or a somewhat lazy yoga sequence (I often forget chaturanga dandasana) a little sweat every day has been my goal for the last year and I think it's just becoming part of me now.
So if your debating getting out there but can't dedicate the time or your waiting until your fitter to give a new sport a go don't wait because fitter won't just come, you'll never have enough time, so what are you waiting for? Just get out there!

Dorney Dash - Medals
IThe 20 annual Dorney Dash was held at Eton Dorney Lake, now known for its part in the 2012 Olympics.
Jenny and I started off quickly (in hindsight a little too quickly!) and settled just ahead of the 60 minute pacers. The pancake flat course is truly flat, bar a couple minor bumps for lake crossings, by the 5k lap I was suffering (probably due to the far too fast start) and I was certain I was going to vomit.
After a few words of encouragement from Tim I continued for the second lap. I lost Jenny around the 5km mark and had been steadily dropping back from the pacer group I could just see the pacers yellow t-shirts ahead and resolved to finish the run strong and as fast as possible. I was slowly gaining on other runners and over-taking a few, boosting my confidence again. The medal is rather lovely and really now believing that I can complete this little challenge.
