Things To Do in 2013 Overview


Almost the end of 2013 so it's time to review my things to do list I composed a year ago.

The list was:


  • Cover 100 miles of the Wales Coast Path
  • Gain weight
  • HIIT running
  • Run a mile under 8 minutes
  • Run up Bosley Cloud under 40 minutes
  • Run 10km in one go
  • Upload my 100th YouTube video

So which ones did I tick off the list?
















Not done any running for the last 2 months, but this year I have run the most miles in a year. Covered 104 miles in 2013, (57 miles in 2012, 38 miles in 2011).

Ran my first 10km early on in the year and set a PB for 1km and tried the Standard and Pyramid programs on Endomondo for Interval Training.

I continued my walk along the Wales Coast Path in Flint and made it round along the coast and over to Anglesey. Approximate total miles for the year was 74 miles. (Check out the neilrbee channel on YouTube for pictures and videos)

I now have 132 videos on YouTube and total viewings are over 45,000.

So what are the things to do in 2014?

























Today I registered to do the Cloud 9 Run on 2nd March 2014 so trainers back on to hit the trail and road to get my fitness back for the 9 mile run!!

I'll continue my walking around Anglesey and G has mentioned he wants to continue our travels along the Pennine Way and tick off some more of the many! Wrainwrights.

New camera equipment

Today I received my new bit of camera equipment, a mini tripod.

It's the Joby GripTight GorillaPod Stand. You can use it for both small smartphones and compact cameras.














Will be trying it out in due course to see what photos I can take. You can wrap it round slim branches and the like.

I've been busy adding photos to my Instagram gallery, now over 80 photos and a couple of short video clips.
