‘Jog On’ by Bella Mackie

Yep, it’s the first running book of the year. Not a great one to start with. The author suffers from poor mental health and it follows her journey of how running saved her life.

It has a good message and I’m sure plenty of people would find it interesting, just not me.

I found it a bit too repetitive.

A harsh two stars.

‘Upstairs at The Beresford’ by Will Carver

Yep, it was another Will Carver. Inventive, dark and some great characters. Another cracking read.

‘Berserker!’ by Adrian Edmondson

I don’t often read autobiographies, they’re not really my bag.

This one was ok. I like Adrian Edmondson, there was interesting stuff. But nothing more than that.

Read it if you want to.

Janathon. Done.

31 days. 31 runs.

Tonight’s run was a couple of loops of the village: 6.1 miles.

Started in the light and by the time I finished I was following that little circle of light to get home.

Overall, this year’s Janathon has been a very pleasant experience. I didn’t really get any days where I was dreading going out for a run. Even the legs didn’t really get too tired. Partly because I did a lot of shorter 3 mile runs.

123.6 miles in total.

Here they are:

The shortest = 3.0 miles

The longest = 7.3 miles

The average = 3.98 miles

Tomorrow is a rest day.

The penultimate day of the month.

A meeting after school meant it was dark when I got home, so I decided on the regular 3 mile loop of the village.

Just one day to go…

‘This is Vegan Propaganda’ by Ed Winters

Everyone needs to read this book.

This book explains why veganism must be our future.

Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in.
