But not only that I think from your blog you ran well within yourself and not at your limits in any way so plenty more to come from you this year:)

Whilst away maybe a race out in Spain?

I am hopeful that I'll be able to knock a bit off my 5k and maybe more off my 10k times later this year. I'd love to get a 60 WAVA for at least one distance - something I've never previously thought of as possible for me.
I'll run in Spain, but won't be racing. The forecast is for a sudden increase to around 20º so it will be too hot for anything too strenuous :)

I hope you’re right about the temperature GM :-) It’s been a cold old winter so far.
I’ve looked but can’t see any local races in this part of Spain over the next week. Opportunity for plenty of hill training though!

1 x yoga per week (not related to weight loss but need to get back into regular stretching).

Lammo:

Lose 8 kg by end of year

Exercise for 7 hours per week (i'd rather not include walking, but am sure i will to start with)

Lose 10kg by Christmas

Run 5k comfortably (might include jeffing, but it’s the comfortable bit I’m after)

I’m doing it by:

10k steps a day (I’ve just hit my longest streak of 18 days)
