Today is as near as damn to one third through Janathon.
Before tonight's run I had a little read through some Janathon blogs and found that quite a few people had decided not to run for one reason or another. Now in Juneathon I took this relaxed approach to running every day of the month, but not this month. I am determined to run every day and beat the mileage I ran last time. So again, like last night, initial plan was a couple of miles, although once I got going I went for the 4ish miles that I've been doing all month.
Obviously the difference between Janathon and Juneathon is the time of year. This month, the whole idea of running in the dark is getting me down. Only two of the ten days so far have been run in daylight, the rest either pounding the dark streets of the town or donning the head torch and hitting the trails of the woods. So the run tonight started in the usual way….
A pretty uneventful run tonight, although it did feel very cold out and a bit misty. On return the weather forecast seems to be suggesting a very cold spell with possible snow and ice. Something to look forward too!
Today's mileage = 4.35
Total Janathon mileage = 44.13
So the mantra for the rest of the month, with the target to beat last Janathon's mileage, must be 'Get Better'…
I’m so inspired by all you Janathoners – I will definitely be doing Juneathon
I reckon that after the blogging, the darkness is the hardest part of Janathon.
Looks like a cold weekend!
I do agree that the darkness is depressing! Walking home now in pitch darkness after footballathon, but at least I had so much energy tonight! Great miles so far.
