Happy New Year! I hope you're all recovering from whatever you got up to last night.
The first few days in January are usually a time for people to think about what wholesale changes they'd like to make, and then persevere with them as much as possible. I wrote last year about how I'd been in a similar boat myself a number of times and all my good intentions had fallen by the wayside by late January.
There's traditionally talk of making major lifestyle changes which is usually difficult to achieve. Not through lack of desire per se, but through the difficulty in overhauling your day to day life and sustaining those changes. I'm as skeptical as the next man when people say that's what they're going to do, but this year, that's exactly what I'll be attempting.
At the end of this month, I'll be starting a two year clinical study to see if insulin pumps help people manage diabetes better than multiple daily injections (MDI). This will effectively mean a brand new type of medication, a brand new way of looking after myself and a lot of other changes that affect my day-to-day life.
I wrote in the the very first post on this blog how I do my best not to let being diabetic define my entire life, it's merely a part of who I am as a person. Whilst that remains the case, a complete change in a medical regime I've been used to for over 10 years will take some getting used to I suspect.
With that at the back of my mind, I've only made 7 resolutions this year but I'm hoping to keep them all (as opposed to the 8/10 from 2012)
1. Run the Sheffield Half Marathon and the Great Yorkshire Run
As regular readers will know, the Sheffield Half is my nemesis and I'm determined to conquer it this year. The Great Yorkshire Run eluded me last year as I'd pushed myself a little too much and wasn't able to compete when the day came.
2. Raise £500 for charity
After raising £1,500 last year, I'm taking an admittedly more modest approach this year (but then again I'm not running the London Marathon this year either). I'd like to be able to do more for charities that are important to me, but at the moment, I'm not sure how to do that other than run around and ask people to sponsor me for it. Hopefully I'll meet my target this year
3. See 12 gigs
This is the same as last year - I just like to be able to have a night out once a month so I'm hoping there'll be some great live shows to see this year
4. Read 11 books
Slightly more ambitious than last year's 10 - I ought to read more and having got some excellent books for Christmas, I'm confident I'll make this one.
5. Do a photo-a-day project
This is something I've wanted to do for a long time and I've never motivated myself to do it. I enjoy taking pictures and I'm probably quite reasonable at it. I'd like to become a lot more accomplished over the next 12 months and I think this will be a good way to do that. I'll be posting the results on a separate blog if you want to keep track of them
6. Keep my weight below 190lbs all year
There's a technicality that means I've got to get my weight back under 190 first (having lost 32lbs last year, a few have crept back on over Christmas). This one in itself is fairly ambitious as I've never maintained a weigh I'm happy with for more than about 6 months. I think the fact that I'll be in the clinical trial will help motivate me here.
7. Run 450 miles
That doesn't sound like too much - less than 10 miles a week shouldn't be that hard when you think about it. But I'm conscious I could end up injured again and I want a target that is attainable without having to put my body on the line in order to meet it. I'll be trying for 2/3 runs a week and supplementing that with sessions on the exercise bike at home.
So there you have it. That's my goals for the year in a few short paragraphs. It may not sound like too much (and I feel a little like I've copped out), but I think I have to be mindful of what else will be happening this year.
Once again, I hope you all have a wonderful 2013 and that you manage to keep any resolutions you've made.

2012 Review
Well the end of 2012 is almost nigh. It's usually nice to look back over some of the highlights of the year and ponder what there is to look forward to in the coming year.
I'm going to go through a few of my highlights of the year and then review my New Year's Resolutions I set myself in January. I'll do another blog in the first week of January to do a bit of a 2013 preview.
A personal highlight of mine was finally running the London Marathon in April. You can read about that in more detail by checking out the post-run blog post. It had been an ambition of mine for over 20 years and the feeling of achievement as I crossed the line was incredible.
In May, we flew out to Krakow for the wedding of some friends of ours. The entire day was wonderful and we had a great time. I'd never been to Poland before but had an amazing time. We'd managed to rent an apartment right on the Old Town Square and saw so much of the city in just a week. I also did a day trip to Auschwitz which was an incredible but very sobering experience. If you're looking for a city break holiday, I'd definitely recommend Krakow.
I managed to see some incredible gigs in 2012 and picking the best isn't easy. One of many highlights was the Watch The Throne tour in Manchester over the summer. To see two of the world's biggest music stars in Jay-Z and Kanye West together on stage for over two and a half hours was incredible! Watching Pulp play a home town arena show to over 12,000 fans was also pretty special and a great way to round off the year!
The end of the 2011/12 football season was also something to celebrate (for once). I was at Hillsborough to watch Sheffield Wednesday beat Wycombe to confirm promotion back to the Championship, ultimately at the expense of city rivals United. Whilst the current season is a bit unpredictable (to be diplomatic), the wild celebrations at the end of the season was incredible.
It wouldn't be right to review 2012 without mentioning the Olympic and Paralympic Games and I was incredibly fortunate to get tickets to see events at both. I took my dad to see Olympic football at Old Trafford, my wife and daughter to see tennis at Wimbledon as well as taking in Handball at the Copperbox and Volleyball at Earl's Court. It was incredible to see the wave of support our athletes had. Whilst the summer gave us a lot of memorable moments, I personally won't forget the drive back from Legoland to Sheffield, to get home just in time to see Jessica Ennis in her final event. Watching her cross the line and win gold was my moment of the Games.
Watching the Olympic torch go past the end of our road (and the incredible number of people that turned out to see it) really got me hooked on the Olympic spirit, and getting to hold one of the torches later that summer was an amazing feeling.
Obviously there were a few other newsworthy events in 2012 such as the Diamond Jubilee celebrations (I'll never say no to an extra day of work, thank you Ma'am), but one of the most iconic moments for me was Felix Baumgartner's freefall from space. I told my wife it was our generation's Moon Landing, and while that might be a bit of hyperbole, I'll remember my daughter sat on my knee on the landing watching it with me on my laptop.
And so onto a review of my 2012 Resolutions... I posted a half-year review (in that link) but it's worth doing a final summary to see how well this year went:
1. Run the London Marathon
A pretty easy one to tick off - 5:30:41!
2. Raise at least £1000 for charity
Yes. People were incredibly generous with their donations and I managed to raise over £1500 this year which I'm very proud of. Thanks again to everyone who donated - it was very generous of you.
3. Get a photograph published or sold
I'm counting this one as a success. I mentioned in the half year review that I'd done some promo shots for a great Wakefield band call Skint & Demoralised and I followed that up with the cover shot for their single "When Saturday Comes". You can listen to and download that song here (as well as seeing the
4. Carry on training to run the Sheffield Half Marathon 2013
I eased off the running in August after a 10k race as I was starting to feel a bit of pain. I did however switch to an exercise bike to keep fit (and managed to lose over 30lbs in the process). I start running again this week and I'm all ready for the Sheffield Half Marathon in May!
5. See at least 12 gigs
I think I ticked 13 off in the end which is quite a good effort. Obviously I've mentioned some of the highlights above, but also seeing Ladyhawke at The Leadmill in Sheffield was incredible. Here's to a few more in 2013
6. Read at least 10 books
I think I said at the time this was a pitiful number to aim for, but at least I managed it. If I can finish off my current book in the next few days, I'll have a clear 11 to my name for this year. Must try harder next year!
7. Continue my blog after the marathon
This was a tricky one. After all the effort of blogging on marathon training, I felt at a bit of a loss for what to write about. I dabbled a bit over the summer but I feel like I've finally got back into a bit of a groove towards the end of this year. I've also been really lucky to be able to write a monthly blog for Diabetes UK which I'm really looking forward to continuing next year
8. Support the community via sponsorship/donations etc
I'm chalking this down a success as well, though just barely. I sponsored a mini festival a friend of mine staged for charity earlier this year. The amount of work and effort she put in to making the day a success was incredible and sponsoring the event to ensure it could go ahead was a real privilege.
9. Expand the smaller areas of my company
This is my first failure, partially through lack of effort and partially through lack of time. I realised that diversifying from my main business can be good, but the amount of effort required compared to the return doesn't really make it viable. I'm having a rethink and a re-plan for next year so we'll see what comes of it...
10. Make some friends
I'm going to go through a few of my highlights of the year and then review my New Year's Resolutions I set myself in January. I'll do another blog in the first week of January to do a bit of a 2013 preview.

10. Make some friends
Another tricky one. I've definitely built up some excellent relationships over 2012 - no doubt about it. I think what's proved trickier is to make those mainfest themselves in a non-digital environment. I do feel lucky to count some of my Twitter acquaintances as friends but should possibly try harder to turn some of those into "real life" friendships.
So there we go - 2012 in a nutshell. A fairly large nutshell, but nevertheless. If you made it this far, then thanks a lot. I hope you've had a look back at your 2012 and remembered some of the good times you've had.
I'm still pondering what 2013 might hold but I'll be back again in the first week of January to talk about that. In the mean time, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year
Speak soon

Half Year Review
Whilst the title of this week's post sounds like one of those awful things your manager makes you do at work, I'm hoping that this will be slightly less turgid.
I'm going to review the first 6 months of 2012 against my New Year's Resolutions to see how well things are progressing. It's obviously not the most accurate barometer of success/failure, but I it's better than nothing right?
I was searching for my earlier post where I discussed my resolutions when I realised I never revealed what they were so apologies for that.
1. Run the London Marathon
Well this is a pretty easy one to tick off. As anyone who read this blog before May this year will tell you, this has been my main goal for quite some time and I can proudly say that I managed it without too many problems in the end. I've bored you to death with tales of the marathon for a few months now so I won't go over it again. If you're not familiar with it all, here's a link to the post-race blog
2. Raise at least £1000 for charity
This is another one that I'm proud to say that I've achieved, though I definitely couldn't have done it without the help and support of so many people. My marathon fundraising brought in a total of £1500 for Diabetes UK and The Children's Hospital Charity in Sheffield for which I'm incredibly grateful.
I've definitely caught the running bug though (despite my appalling lack of fitness since the marathon) and I've entered into two more 10k runs this year. I'll be doing the brilliantly named Cannon Hall Run in August which is a course from Barnsley town centre to Cannon Hall. I'll then be doing the Great Yorkshire Run in September which will start go from Sheffield city centre to Hillsborough Stadium and back.
Once again I'm running for the two charities above, hoping to raise a modest £200 in total. If you'd like to donate, you can do so by visiting my fundraising page
3. Get a photograph published or sold
This is a difficult one in many respects. I've struggled for both the inspiration and motivation to use my camera as lot this year which is something I'm determined to change in the second part of this year.
I was fortunate enough to be able to take some press photos for a Wakefield band call Skint & Demoralised for the launch of their new album earlier on this year. A few of those got used as promo pictures as part of that launch which I was really pleased with. You can see those photos here.
I'm hopeful that something else may come up later on this year but I'll try and get more pictures out there which I've always been a bit nervous of before. I'll leave this resolution half ticked off for now.
4. Carry on training to run the Sheffield Half Marathon 2013
I've recently got back out running after a good few weeks off after the marathon (down to injury rather than apathy). I've forgotten how hard it was to build up a base level of fitness and I mentioned a few weeks ago about how I felt like I was starting over in many respects.
Running is really my only form of regular exercise and so I'm determined to keep to about 10 miles a week for the rest of this year which should give me a solid platform to build up to the Sheffield Half Marathon next year.
For those of you not familiar with my history with this race, I injured myself whilst training for it in 2008 and the recovery took quite a while. I see it as my nemesis a bit now and so I'm determined to beat it next year
5. See at least 12 gigs
I enjoy live music a lot and so I struck a compromise with my wife that sees us get at least one night out a month. She meets up with friends and I go out to see a band.
So far this year I've seen 7 gigs and I have 3 more on the calendar so I'm confident of meeting this one by the end of the year. It's difficult to pick a favourite as they've all been different, but Mile Kane in Leeds, Ladyhawke in Sheffield and Jay-Z & Kanye West in Manchester could possibly be my top 3
6. Read at least 10 books
I completely realise that this sounds like a pretty poor target but I'd wager that I probably read less than 10 last year and that was something I wanted to change this year. Whilst 10 is a modest target, I think it's achievable and I think that's the main thing.
I've ploughed through 6 so far which isn't too bad if you consider the first four months of this year were almost exclusively spent running. Reading Guitar Man by Will Hodgkinson inspired my Birthday Resolutions and I've just finished reading Just Kids by Patti Smith which I enjoyed immensely.
I currently have three more on the go but I'm focussing on Whoops by John Lanchester which is non-fiction and explains how the world financial crisis cmae about.
7. Continue my blog after the marathon
This sounds like a bit of a cop-out resolution but I really enjoyed blogging about the marathon and the training and I wanted to continue writing this (albeit less frequently) if I could.
I'm finding things to write about a bit difficult to come by at times, but I'd like to think I'm doing a decent job of only writing when I have something to say rather than blogging every week just for the sake of it.
The one year anniversary of We Were Promised Hoverboards is on the 9th of September so hopefully I'll be able to make it through to that and have something to celebrate.
8. Support the community via sponsorship/donations etc
This came about because I was asked to support a few things in my local community last year and I wanted to try and do that again if possible.
I'll be honest in saying that I've not done much on this so far this year but I'm hoping I'll be able to contribute and make a difference before the year is out.
I did recently sponsor a charity festival in Harrogate which allowed a friend to raise about £1400 for charity so I suppose that would count. Hopefully I can do something closer to home in the next few months.
9. Expand the smaller areas of my company
This is another one where I haven't really done anything worth shouting about. I work for myself doing consultancy work for the most part, but I've tried to develop a bit of a sideline in doing web design and some photography.
As I alluded to in point 3 above, I haven't really done as much there as I'd like and, despite some advertising, there's not been much call for the web design service I'm offering.
Again, I think there's the opportunity to change this before the year is out, but I'll not be too disappointed if this is the one that gets away as my main line of work takes up most of my time.
10. Make some friends
This sounds like a bit of a poor resolution as well, but it's not without ground. I moved back to my home town early last year and whilst everything looks incredibly familiar, the people I used to know are now really just Facebook friends and nothing more.
Working for myself means I'm often changing jobs and so developing "work friends" as is normal in most jobs is a bit more difficult for me.
I've been really lucky to connect with a good group of people on Twitter who all share a common love of Sheffield Wednesday and we've all got together before a few games this year. I'm sure we'll all manage that again a few times this coming season too.
So really that's how the first half of my year is going against my "plan". I've got the original list of resolutions taped up against my oven at home and it's good to have them visible as a bit of a reminder. I'm not convinced I'll be able to tick all 10 off by New Year's Eve, but if I get through more than half then I'll be veyr happy.
Thanks for reading - appreciate I've gone on a bit there. Hope you enjoyed it.
