The Better Version of Bing

Every New Year, I’m the same, full of plans to reinvent myself, go to gym, lose weight, learn a new skill etc. I set the bar sky-high, only for my motivation to vanish by February, usually, by now, I back to my comfort zone, swapping the gym for morning coffee & late alcohol to get through the day.

But 2026 is going to be different, I’ve signed up for the Irish Heart Foundation’s 100km Challenge. I’m putting myself out public, so there’s no excuses.

I’m doing this to support the incredible work the National Stroke & Heart charity does, but also to break my “New year Resolution” curse.

They say it takes 28 days to build a habit; if I can survive these 100km, maybe running will become part of who I am.

I’m done standing still. It’s time to meet a better version of myself.

How you can help:

I’d be so grateful if you could support my journey. You can join me for a run, share this post, or donate to the Irish Heart Foundation through my link below:
