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.

3 gentle miles on the treadmill.

It was one of those days where if I wasn’t actually taking part in Janathon then the run wouldn’t have happened. It was a full day teaching followed by a Samaritans evening duty.

So it was laps of the school field as soon as the bell went for the end of day. As I was doing about half mile laps I took the opportunity to turn it into a speed session: alternating between slow and fast.

3.1 miles in all. Another day done.

‘The Beresford’ by Will Carver

The first book of the year is one of my Christmas presents. I love Will Carver.

This book is great: you should definitely give it a read.

You’re not going to get any spoilers here. All I would say is that it is horrific, funny, intense, brilliant and everything in between.

Had a few options for today’s run: very early start and local run, reasonably early start for the local run, or drive to the coast for a run by the beach.

The run by the beach did sound tempting, but had a few things planned today, so when I woke at 7.30am I thought it’s probably best to just get it done.

A steady 3.8 mile loop of the village.

I was accompanied on my run today by Lily Allen.

That’s two weeks done – still going strong.

Current Janathon mileage =54.1

No parkrun this morning.

Instead, I was out the door at 9.15am, ran for 2.5 miles, turned around and ran back: 5 miles.

It was a lovely bright, fresh morning.

The rest of the morning was spent unloading and stacking wood.

It was cold, dark and drizzly when I got in from work, so it was time for the first run on the treadmill this month.

Now I had to move quite a bit of stuff to actually get to it. The garage needs a sort out. it’s on my list!

3 miles.
