  • OnTheBeach: Get Your Defribrilator Out, It’s Time To Resurrect Your 2013 Goals!

    I remembered a goal for 2013 this week…that I’d totally forgotten about. In March I went to see the Stereophonics in concert, and realised that I had got so unfit that I could no longer bounce along to my favourite tracks without gasping for oxygen and burning calves…so I set the goal to be fit…
