You know it's the first week of January when...

...you're up at 8am to go for a run — even though you only start work at 4pm.

...your diary is still a thing of beauty in your eyes.

...you have a mountain of Christmas chocolate in the house, and you fail to see how this might in any way compromise your good New Year intentions.

...your friend has just changed your date (made before Christmas) from "tea" to "lunch", because she genuinely believes there will be less calorie consumption that way.

...you know exactly what you want to do next New Year, and you don't for a minute think you might forget your idea by then.

...you see no problem with having signed up for a race in just five weeks, requiring you to train diligently in the coldest, most miserable time of the year.
