[Easy English Blog] New Year’s resolutions

How are you getting on with your New Year’s resolutions? Are you keeping them? I am keeping some of them. One of my goals was to study French and Chinese every day, and I am doing that. Another goal was to exercise every day, and I’m still doing that too. These have now become habits. I feel confident I can continue these through the year.
This year, I also want to make more time to read, so I try to read for an hour before I go to sleep. At the moment I’m reading a Japanese novel. It’s so exciting that I sometimes read for longer than an hour.
Another resolution was to eat less chocolate. I have already failed….I love chocolate and eat too much. I tried not eating chocolate and I lasted about three days… I know it is not good for my health, but still…I can’t seem to give it up! I’m going to try and start again in February though. Maybe I can’t give chocolate up completely, but I can cut down on it!

[Easy English Blog] Half marathon
Photo by Samuel Silitonga on Pexels.com
Yesterday, I ran the distance of a half marathon. It was my first time to run so far. I usually run 10 or 15km, but this time, I wanted to see if I could run farther. I belong to a running club. The other members of the club take part in half marathon and full marathon races. I have never taken part in an event. I want to take part in one this year, though.
There are a few half marathon races in the area where I live. There is one in March, and one in autumn. I want to try the one in March, but I don’t think I am fast enough. I think the event has a time limit. It took me two and a half hours to run half a marathon. Maybe this is too slow. I need to run faster.
I’m going to try and run a half marathon every week. I usually go running twice a week, so one day I will run 10 or 15km, and the other day I will run a half marathon. It will be good training for me.
In the future, I’d like to run a full marathon, but first, I’ll focus on getting a better time for the half marathon. How about you? Do you like running? How far do you usually run?
