Last year's resolutions

Given that this is a time of year to take stock, I thought I'd check up on how I did with last year's efforts. 1. I am going to do 100 press-ups every day. This started well, with me doing 100 press-ups on new year's day last year. Unfortunately, that knacked my muscle groups so much that I had to desist for a few days. 363 in fact (including today). Interesting to note that on 22 June 2002, Hywel Davies completed 135 press-ups in a minute. Beating my total for the year by 35. 2. I am going to train hard and get as near as I can to a 4 minute mile. I have been running twice this year. Both being runs of about 5-6 miles. I reckon that I probably ran a 6 minute mile somewhere in the middle of that. To be honest, Roger Bannister got a lot closer to it than I did. And he's 73. 3. I am going to score at least 10 goals in competitive 11-a-side football matches. Done. I could go into each of the 14 goals I have scored this year in the London Legal League (div.2) and the Camden Sunday Football League (div. 2), but I suspect there just isn't the market for those reports. Suffice it to say, they were all cracking and I would be being hailed as the next Wayne Rooney were I not currently injured and were it not for the fact that he is 13 years younger than me.
