Janathon Day 9

On Fridays we finish school early. Yay! Which is then followed by meetings. Boo!

My afternoon went something like this: A*-C, FFT, levels of progress, FSM, expected grade, exceeding progress, KS2, 4b, target grade, minimum expected grade, aspirational target grade, intervention, pupil premium, FSM ever, services, KS3, underachieving, KS4, blah, blah, blah.

I'm not sure whether or not I will actually have time to do any teaching soon. It is all starting to wear a bit thin at the moment.

So when I got in it was straight back out to head to the gym for some treadmill action…in kms…

Today's mileage = 4.20

Total Janathon mileage = 40.05

School run #janathon

Janathon Day 8

I have been taking my running kit to school all week with the idea that I could complete the day's run after school – today it finally happened. So, as soon as the bell had gone, bus duty was completed and a bit of data inputting was done I was changed and heading for the school field.

We have two fields at school: the field and the back field. Tonight I discovered that one big lap, including both fields equates to about a mile. So four big laps: 4.2 miles. Cushty.

Tonight's mileage = 4.20

Total Janathon mileage = 35.89

 

 

One week down… #janathon

Janathon Day 7

A long day at school that went something like this: early start to finish some marking; followed by a full day of teaching, including a lesson with my lovely Y11s producing some hilarious role-play characters; followed by a late finish inputting data.

Therefore it was a late night pounding the streets of Bourne.

That's is one week done!

Today's mileage = 3.29

Total Janathon mileage = 31.69

The last few days have been all about the marking…early morning marking….

C/D borderline.

Janathon Day 6

It was the gym again tonight. But things have changed. Rather than just walk straight in, or on the off chance that someone is on reception, walk straight in and flash the membership card, we have a new system. After going through the rigmarole of having photo and fingerprint taken I can now just walk straight in, or on the off chance that someone is on reception, walk straight in and scan fingerprint. Brilliant.

Tonight I managed to find a treadmill that not only worked but was also in mph. Happy days.

Today's mileage = 4.31

Total Janathon mileage = 28.40

If it wasn't enough being a member of a gym, there also seems to be the odd personal trainer available…

Really?

 

A bright and early #janathon run….

Janathon Day 4

A bit of a strange morning today: I was awake at 6am.

With the ergophobia beginning to take a grip, I decided not to role over and go back to sleep. A nice early start will mean an early night which in turn will mean I will be bright and fresh for the first day of a new term. So there is only one thing to do when you are up bright and early during Janathon: go for a run. It was too dark to venture out so I read for a while.

7am. Time to go. I thought as I was up early I would encourage the dog to join me by explaining to him that we would go to the woods and chase deer. He was up for it. So we headed out into the morning: thick frost, icy roads and bloody freezing.

Double layers. Check. Hat. Check. Gloves. Check.

We got to the woods and it was barely light.

There were indeed plenty of animals for the dog to chase, so he was happy. As for me it took a while to get warmed up, but after a couple of miles I was feeling better. By the time the sun decided to venture out we were pretty much done: 7ish miles.

I can now get on with enjoying the rest of the day knowing that I've run AND blogged. Not looking forward to day 5, first day back to work after the holiday, not sure where the run is going to fit in.

Today's mileage = 7.18

Total Janathon mileage = 19.66

This was the best picture I could come up with on this morning's run…

Cushty.

 

Day 3 #janathon #project365

Janathon Day 3

I woke up to a miserable morning in Lincolnshire. I had plans to attend a parkrun, but that never happened, due to the fact that I didn't actually wake-up until 9.30am. But with parkrun in mind I decided to get straight out and do a fast few miles. And that is exactly what I did; I hit the streets of Bourne.

The dog was disappointed that I didn't take him to the woods with me for the run – but I wanted to avoid the rain that was on its way – he didn't speak to me for the rest of the day.

Today's mileage = 2.92

Total Janathon mileage = 12.48

Today's photo is pipe work. Not just any old pipe work, but the sort that leaks, the sort that has leaked in the past, the sort that ends up taking over your life. Argh!!! The day has been punctuated with calls to various plumbers in an attempt to get it sorted. The lovely Shaun will be round on Monday to take a look.

In other news….back to work on Monday.
