2024 resolutions: Cape Breton Road Runners look to start new year on the right foot

There's something to be said for starting a new year off on the right foot, and about 100 people tried to do just that on Monday at the Cape Breton Road Runners' annual Resolution Run.
There's something to be said for starting a new year off on the right foot, and about 100 people tried to do just that on Monday at the Cape Breton Road Runners' annual Resolution Run.
"My biggest resolution is to run a full marathon in May, for the Fredericton Marathon,” says Sydney-area runner Heather Malcolm.
For Malcolm, that would be her first marathon. However, she has other resolutions that have less to do with running — and more to do with just living a good life.
"I want to get a healthier relationship with food,” Malcolm says. “I want to get outside more, maybe get some bare feet on the ground in nature."
At the Resolution Run in Sydney, getting outdoors and interacting with friends meant at least an hour away from the biggest vice for many: digital devices.
"I tend to use social media way too much, so I'm trying to replace that with reading and have at least an hour's worth of no screen time before bed,” says Malcolm.
Entering 2024 in her mid-60's, veteran Cape Breton runner Debbie Howie summed up her resolution with a clever quip.
