That's how long 2015 has lasted. Thought it would though so I am not suprised :-D
Has it been good? Um, yeah, think so, lets see....
Work - been great actually. Co-ordinated and co-wrote a grant application (my first) for a new bit of equipment and we were successful yay! Been co-author on 4 papers that have been accepted and first author on one that should be accepted any day. Presented a poster at AAIC to a lot of interest...oh that meant I got to visit Washington DC which was great. Ended year with being asked to take on team leader role, got to redo CV and stuff for extra race tokens.
Running - bit mixed really. Started year a bit meh.....got GFA at London and then just ran rubbish for a while. But did a few tris that I really enjoyed including the new Stafford Half. Concentrated on shorter distances for second half of year and have really enjoyed 10k racing. Won v45 prize for the summer olympic park series and have got official PB to 43.55. Also doing xc again and yeah I am enjoying it even if I need to be careful of my knee for a few days after. From struggling to get my 5k under 23 in the summer I am now able to sub 22 again. Maybe because I have lost a bit of weight. Still want to lose a bit more.
Family - good! Had holiday with sister, her husband and my niece in Devon, was lovely, then my brother got back in contact after a long time and has visited a few times, he was here xmas day and is coming round tomorrow for dinner. Happy me. Mr H is well and happy and we now seem to have 3 cats. Mr Fluffy is an older gentleman who was so sick over the summer (stray) that we took it upon ourselves to see if we could make him better. Tbh I am not sure that we can but he now spends most of his time in the flat - he is currently in the wardrobe- at least he is fed and warm and he is soooo affectionate, well he likes to get on your lap and hump you............that's affection right? :-D
Friends - I still have some. Result!
So yeah, all in all a good year. Lets see if I can live up to expectations in 2016, it should be a good year because it's an even number of course.
