Fitness goals and setbacks

4:16

um, I wanted to do lots of running. Actually,

4:16

I wanted to get really fit this year,

4:19

and I haven't because I hurt my ankle and I can't run.

4:24

And running is my main way of keeping fit,

4:27

so I need to find something else to do.

4:31

Yeah.

4:38

Time now to recap some of the vocabulary we've heard in this episode.

4:42

Starting with 'highlight'.

4:44

And a highlight is the best bit of something.

4:47

So the highlight of my year, Georgie, was my trip to Sicily.

4:51

Or was it your 30th birthday?

4:55

If you are 'proud of something',

4:56

it means you feel good about something you've done.

4:59

You can also be proud of someone else.

5:02

For example, Neil is proud of his kids.

5:05

And if you 'regret something', you feel sad about it

5:09

and wish that you had done it differently. For example,

5:13

I regret not running more.

5:14

I'm not very fit.
