It was a cold dark run on the roads when I got in from work. It was probably one of those nights when I would have gone on the treadmill if it wasn’t under a pile of stuff in the garage. Note to self: sort garage out.

So it was a case of gathering up all the detritus that you need on a cold dark night.

It was a 3 mile loop of the village, which included a firework display.

If it was someone celebrating my completion of Janathon then it was a bit early – hopeful they’ve got some more they can use in 22 days time.

9 days down. We go again tomorrow.

The start of a new week and I did well to get out for the run tonight. It was freezing, windy and dark.

Did a 30min loop of the village: 3.2 miles.

Still on the Janathon train! Tomorrow we go again.

One week done, and I’m still going, I’ve run on every day of January so far.

This morning’s run was a 5 mile loop of the village. It was an early start for a Sunday; up and out before 7.30am.

I was joined by Beans on Toast on today’s run. Listening to his latest album ‘The Toothpaste and the Tube’.

It was a bit chilly and plenty of water about after all the rain we’ve had recently. I had this to contend with quite early on.

So after 30secs of staring and considering turning back, I did not want wet feet this morning, I bit the bullet it and legged it along the bank narrowly avoiding disaster.

Today’s Bob Ross managed to catch the exact moment:

So it has been a successful first week:

Monday: 3.8 miles

Tuesday: 3.6 miles

Wednesday: 6 miles

Thursday: 3.7 miles

Friday: 3 miles

Saturday: 3.1 miles

Sunday: 5.1 miles

That’s 28.3 miles for the week.

Bring on week two!

Finally, here’s a little tune by Beans on Toast about AI:

Parkrun day.

Gorleston Cliffs parkrun.

I had a bit of a go at it this morning. But it was very cold and windy so time wasn’t one of my best.

Want to make more of an effort with parkrun this year, so good start to get to the first one of the year.

Janathon day 6. Done.

It was a little 3 miler when I got in from school today, listening to the latest Skinny Lister album: Shanty Punk. A great album to run to.
