Janathon Day 7

I make that 1 week done!

Today’s run was a nice steady run round the woods with the dog – nearly 4 miles. I do quite enjoying running on the muddy tracks, although it must be very funny to watch . I did actually nearly stack it today – running down a muddy hill – it was only flaying arms and legs that stopped me landing in a ditch (I’m thinking Phoebe in ‘Friends’).

Long run planned for tomorrow – time will tell….

Janathon Day 6

Got away nice and early from school today with Janathon in mind. I’ve been running mostly on concrete all week and felt my legs needed a softer surface. Drove like a madman home to pick up the dog and get to the woods for 4pm (didn’t want to finish my run in the dark – the woods are very creepy at night).

Billy Boy was more than pleased to get to the woods nice and early….

Although with the extreme weather conditions we’ve had recently there were a few obstacles to overcome, fallen trees…

….it was very, very, very muddy…..

…resulting in….

That’s 6 days running, legs are slightly aching, so I was happy to be told I wasn’t allowed to climb the timber stacks….

Janathon Day 2: Bourne Woods

It was a lovely bright morning, in fact I can’t remember the last time we had a lovely morning like today. With today being the last day of the school holidays a nice steady run around the woods with the dog sounded perfect. Tomorrow night is club training so I didn’t want to run too far this morning, I was planning on another 3-miler. The route took me up a hill (which is bigger than it looks)…..

…..and to the ponds, which this time last year were frozen solid…..

…..the lovely calm peaceful scene was soon to be destroyed…..

…..with Billy Boy taking the plunge.

Overall: a steady 3-miler; on a lovely morning; on day 2 of Janathon; and in 28mins (including some stops for pics). Sweet Deals!
