Training for a half marathon

2:30

Health, so running and um, language learning, Spanish, I need to do that.

2:30

But for running, I think this time I need a big goal.

2:34

So I'm a bit scared about it, but I think I'm going to book a half marathon.

2:41

Um, because then I can make a training programme and feel really motivated.

2:48

Um, I think that's what I need.

2:50

I think that's a great idea.

2:51

Um, what about you, Neil?

2:54

Any New Year's resolutions?

2:56

Well, usually once Christmas and New Year are over,

3:02

we have the two darkest, saddest months of the year.

3:09

January and February.

3:10

And normally I really just wish that those months go away

3:15

and that we get into spring.

3:17

But this year I think I'm going to enjoy every day, regardless,

3:23

you know, even if the weather is awful and it's dark and cold, I still want

3:28

to get out there and appreciate it rather than wish my life away.

3:33

So, Neil, do you have any goals for this year?

3:36

So something you want to achieve?

3:39

Yeah, I think I don't really want to take up something new.

3:45

'Take up' means 'start a new activity'.
