Janathon Day 22

Still going. I have run every day of the month so far.

Today’s run was the regular little 3 mile loop. I do this run a lot. Sometimes clockwise, sometimes anti-clockwise, sometimes fast, sometimes steady and sometimes very slow. Today’s was: a steady anti-clockwise loop.

Day 22. Done.

Janathon Day 21

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

Janathon Day 20

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.

Janathon Day 19

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.

Sheep have arrived on one of the fields.

Ran down to the river – it was very still.

It was getting dark by the time I finished.

Janathon Day 17

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.
