Janathon Day 4

It was a late run. First proper day – kids all back. Felt a bit hectic at times.

Completely dark once I got out, plus the headtorch was slowly fading as the run went on. At one stage I nearly broke an ankle by running into a speed bump! There was a small post indicating a speed bump was there – although I didn’t put two and two together at the time.

Felt pretty tired on the run, which I’m putting down to first full day of teaching for a couple of weeks. 3.7 mile run. Done.

You should be able to see me sitting on floor following speed bump incident.

Janathon Day 3

It was INSET day at school so was able to get out pretty sharpish for today’s run.

The run tonight incorporated both of my two different 3 mile loops of the village: making a 6 miler. It was just getting dark by the time I finished.

For today’s piece of Bob Ross art, he managed to catch me actually running across a lake:

Happy running everyone!

Janathon Day 2

It was a wet one today. Plenty of jumping over and avoiding puddles.

Did a little loop of the village, down to the river, past the church and back. 3.6 wet miles. Done.

Bob Ross’ thought of the day is not a thought, just a little drawing painting of me running through the snow:

Janathon Day 1

In all the excitement of not starting work yet and having a relaxing day, I completely forgot to blog.

It was a lunchtime run – 3.8 miles – lovely day.

I’ve not really got an amazing plans for Janathon this year – maybe just do a bit of running…

Today’s thought comes from Bob Ross:

The Books of 2023 📚

The challenge for this year was to read 30 books – two more than last year.

The number of books I read? 30.

Nice.

The stats…

The books…

Quite a selection in the end.

My favourites of the year, all getting 4 stars:

‘Where the Crawdads Sing‘ – slightly late to the party – loved it.

‘A Walk from the Wild Edge’ – my favourite non-fiction of the year.

‘Eleanor and Park’ – favourite teenage fiction of the year.

‘The Hike’ – classic thriller – really liked it.

‘The Daves Next Door’ – my favourite Will Carver of the year – love all his novels.
