An update…

An avid reader of this blog would be worried; it has been 28 days since my last post.

My last post just read ‘Still Poorly’ – I can imagine the thoughts running through your head: has he been abducted by aliens; has he decided to quit this world of social media; or has he simply just dropped dead?

Well I can now put the record straight…

Janathon had been going pretty well; a more relaxed approach, a lot of running plus a few planks when I was feeling tired or didn’t have the time. Then I was hit by it.

Man Flu.

I think it was probably a combination of things:

  • All the exercise
  • Working hard at school
  • Donating blood

But it left me teetering on the edge of death.

  
The ever present grim reaper, like an old friend waiting to accompany me down the pub, was always close by. At one stage it was near impossible to make myself a Lemsip!

Therefore Janathon went for a Burton whilst I battled for survival. Needless to say I did survive. I was battered and bruised but I made it; I came through. 

In other news…

I’ve entered the Milton Keynes Marathon and will be looking for sponsorship to raise a few quid for charity. More on that another day…

Janathon Day 23

I have done zero exercise today. Nothing. Zilch. Buggar all.

I am ill. I have been ill all day. I felt a bit dodgy Friday afternoon. However I am now seriously ill.

I can barely move. I have been curled up on the sofa under a crochet blanket all day.  

 

Janathon Day 21

Today, if we are going by the marathon training schedule, should have been a 7 mile easy run. However, in the real world, it was a rest day. It was Y11 parents’ evening and I didn’t get out of school until 8pm. 

So by the time I got home and had had something to eat there was only one exercise that I could possibly partake in. Our friend. The plank.

The result? I smashed it. By a massive 7 seconds. New PB. 

 
Cushty.
