Recent Results
5k Series continues
Results of races 2 and 3 are on the website and can be viewed at http://www.kapitiharriers.org.nz/results.php?WEBYEP_DI=62 An especially noteworthy walker was Maurice Piper, who won walking races 3 and 4. Tim Stewart won the running section in races 3 & 4, with a fastest time of 16.47 in race 3, after a battle with Craig Edwards. There was a good turnout of 22 walkers and 38 runners in race 4.

Resolutions
Given up on them already? It's not too late to restate them into something more achieveable. I found this ebook titled "8 Secrets to a New Year's Resolution Solution" on Joel Marion's website http://www.cheatyourwaythin.com/. The subject was fat loss, but the ideas apply to any goal setting. The secret headings were: 1. Stick to one big resolution 2. Make a measureable resolution 3. Personalize your resolution 4. Write down your resolution 5. Post your resolution 6. Review your resolution 7. Broadcast your resolution 8. Support your resolution.
