As with Newts, September Starts has the emphasis on DOING. So (not sorry me) very much NOT a wish list, goals, i-will-try sort of thread.

Report in with how you are putting your start up into action.

Very helpful (for instance) of halfpint to link the gratitude thread for those who might want to do that.

Nothing like putting your money where your mouth is. If I've paid I'll go!

Hear you loud and clear, Sharkie, and I will report back later today with a run that I would not otherwise have done because Tuesday is a doing-things-with-eL Bee! day.

I note McGoo has booked his swimming. *applauds*

Pix - what steps are you going to take to help you believe in yourself? Can we help?

Another as per...

NO HAIR SHIRTS!
NO DOING STUFF COS YOU THINK YOU 'OUGHT' TO, OR IT'S EXPECTED OF YOU.
ONLY START SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO.

Now begins part one of my swimming challenge - Where did I leave those goggles? I could make a treasure hunt out of this!

Sharkie my goal had been 30! I did 25 the month before.

Bike goal was 200m did 228m

Was thinking about run the sum?
