new year new start

It's been a busy few weeks for us, we've had a really lovely Christmas; spending Christmas day in our new house and going for a walk over to Felly and seeing a rainbow, and over the rest of the holiday period catching up with family and friends, while still managing to work on TreeHuggery (I have a new tablecloth to make up the one way that blew away while I was doing a craft fair in the storms, doing up the house and going for some runs)
Our running leaves a lot to be desired at the moment, we've been so busy, and so much of the local area is flooded that its been really easy to put if off, still, we're both determined not to have a lazy year, and while not exactly a new years resolution, we both have our eye on races in the spring, that will mean that we need to start training up
I'm going to do eyam half marathon, I've done it twice before, its beautiful but very very hilly, and has the strapline "if carlsberg made half marathons" ... you get the drift...... while Col is going to do a leg of the Hilly 100 relay, he's done this a couple of times too, and always seems to get saddled with one of the hilliest legs .... I think we both need a challenge that is do-able but tough enough that we have to get some serious training in! 
As for fitting it all in, I think the mantra "if you want something doing, ask a busy person" works just fine!
