Tour Of Croydon Stage #1(#resolve09)


My new bike. on 12seconds.tv

The Tour Of Croydon is a series of routes that I will take on my bike throughout the year exploring this notorious town as I struggle back to some semblance of fitness.

The first route is ludicrously easy. A round trip to South Croydon Railway Station from my street. It would take roughly ten minutes to walk this very short circuit. However, I guarantee that I will be exhausted after completing it tomorrow.

#resolve09: New Years Resolutions

A list of things I must do in 2009.



1. Exercise more: Buy a bike and take up dancing lessons with the missus.

2. Listen to less podcasts. Only play podcasts on the way into work not on the way home. This leaves more time for...

3. Read more books. Its shocking how few books I've read in 2008. It takes me ages to read books because of all the writing I do at home and listening to podcasts on the train work. That reminds me..

4. Listen to more music. While I'm reading on the train I can listen to music rather than the aforementioned podcasts.

5. Try and secure some freelance work as a writer. You know the sort of thing: No job too small, no fee too big.

6. Write that book. I can say nothing more on that.

7. Prepare for the worst. There is a reasonable chance that I will be laid off this year. I need to batton down the hatches and get a back-up plan ready should it be required.

8. Network more. Be more confident in the things I do well and be friendlier to people.

9. Keep using Twitter. But try not to let it overtake me.

10. Watch less football.
