Day 14 RED January

After work I headed off to Rutland Water for a little run – 3 or so miles. I love running here after work – I chance for a bit of time to myself to clear the head – that’s the purpose of this whole RED January thing – help with mental health. Happy days.

Tonight’s run had to be cut short, I had originally planned to do a few more miles, but having forgotten my head torch I didn’t fancy running too late. I probably would have fallen in the reservoir and drowned. Not good for my mental health.

It’s been a pretty good start to January – managed to be active every day of the month so far.

RED January stats:

  • 2 parkruns
  • 2 bike rides
  • 1 walk
  • 1 gym session
  • 1 basketball session
  • 7 runs

Day 11 RED January

It felt like a very long day today; I didn’t feel like going for a run. But I did.

The original plan was to head to the gym, however once I putting my trainers on I decided just to get out on the streets. It was a good decision. I felt so much better when I got in.

Today was the perfect advert for RED January.

Parents’ evening.

This does cause some issues if you are trying to be more active every day. What is the likely hood of staying at school until 8pm and then going out for a run once home? Zero.

That is why, incredibly, I was up and out the door at 6am this morning! Early morning runs are not really my cup of tea, but needs must and all that…

Smashed it.
