Ending 2016 and beginning 2017

It seems there is going to be no resting up and taking a break from the running training over the Christmas, New Year period this year!  I have entered by first event for 2017.  On Sunday March 5 I am going to run the Rotorua off-road half marathon for the first time!  Am I a little nervous - YES.  It will  be the furthest I have traveled for an event ever and I have heard it is not the easiest of courses.  For one, it is a double loop event which I have done before and there are a number of hills.  Am I up for the challenge - YES.  The first months training plan is already written up and I am sticking to it.  Hopefully I will have some achievements and joys to share in here along the way.
