3 weeks done.

Today’s run was a cold and windy one. Ran out of the village for half hour and then turned round and ran back. 6.8 miles.

It was a lovely run, I had wrapped up well, so felt toasty warm for the majority of it.

Total so far = 81.8 miles

Ironic (adjective) happening in a way that contrary to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this.

Avid followers of this blog will know that yesterday I may have mentioned that I was going to do parkrun this morning.

I didn’t.

I woke up on time, I can’t use that as an excuse. My pathetic excuse was that it looked really cold out. Plus we had quite a busy day full of stuff, so a slow start to the morning sounded just fine.

I did of course go for a run today, it’s day 20 of Janathon and I’m determined to run every day. So instead of parkrun I did 5km on the treadmill.

What’s ironic about that you ask?

I listened to a podcast on the treadmill: The Outdoors Fix.

The end of a long week. With parkrun in the morning I decided on a gentle little 3 mile loop of the village.

Despite the cold I did manage to take my gloves off for the odd picture.

It has been a very busy week, so today I wanted to get the run done quickly and with as less hassle as possible.

Left work early, got in, changed and got straight back out for a 3-miler. Done.

This evening’s run was quite an adventure…

Dark Country Lanes + Fading Headtorch = Near Death Experiences

Managed to survive long enough to do a big 5 mile loop of the village.

As much as sometimes getting out every day can be a bit of a chore, it definitely improves your fitness pretty quickly, I’m feeling strong at the moment.

Day 17 is complete.

It was always going to be tricky to get today’s run in. Full day teaching, followed by parents’ evening. If I had thought about it a bit I probably would have done an early morning run, but I didn’t think about it, so it was a treadmill run when I finally got home.
