2012 I became a runner, I raced, I PB'd. 2013 is all about enjoyment not times. No more 10k races, it's 10 miles and further. But will a marathon feature?! Hmm.

      It's a 4 minute workout Rich. 20 sec burpees with 10 sec rest, then 20 sec mountain climbers and 10 sec rest, following same pattern for jumping jacks and high knees, then repeat! Fat burning, metabolism raising, 4 minutes! Easy to fit in even when pushed for time!

      Dave, yeah, I think the MH challenge might require more than 4 mins though!
