Janathon Day 20

Yep, that's right, day 20. It's amazing that after running every day for the last 20 days it almost feels normal!

It was really cold today so it was a trip to the gym for a hot sweaty 5-miler.

Today's mileage = 5.02

Total Janathon mileage = 86.65

This is what greets me every day of week….

…feeling especially depressed about it all this morning.

 

 

Couple of fast ones…

Janathon Day 19

 

After running every day for the last 19 it starts to become ‘normal’. It doesn’t seem unusual that the day revolves around the run. When will I get a chance to fit it in? Should I run before I leave work? Have I got time to go to the gym?

Today I decided that I would run around the school field before going home, that way it is done and dusted. So I did a bit of marking, did I bit of running and then got back to the marking. Perfectly normal behaviour.

Just a couple of miles. But I did run them a bit faster than normal.

Today’s mileage = 2.04

Total Janathon mileage = 81.63

Still on the wagon…but only just…

Janathon Day 16

Today I very nearly fell off the Janathon wagon – I ended up getting home at 10.20pm after what was a very long day.

At 10.29pm I was out the door for a run.

It might only have been a couple or so miles, but it was a run – the sixteenth run in a row. You may say mad. I say dedicated.

Today's mileage = 2.26

Total Janathon mileage = 67.26

And relax.

 

 

Today I learnt that it’s all ’bout that bass… #janathon

Janathon Day 14

I had taken my kit to school today with the idea I’d be able to do a few miles around the school field at the end of the day. Today went something like this: a morning of teaching; exploration of ‘body image’ in tutor; GCSE booster workshop; followed by a run. Running around the field is probably not the best option on a day like today. It was cold. It was really windy. Hence I struggled. But again, there is something really good about getting run done nice and early. It leaves the evening to relax – except for the pile of Y11 work that needs marking, and the full day of lessons that need planning.

Today, thanks to a discussion in the staff room, I have discovered the wonderful, joyous and moving music of Meghan Trainor*. Also, the perfect way into a discussion about body image. I didn’t realise how deep and meaningful her lyrics are**. The tune declares ‘skinny’ as over-rated and celebrates men and women of all shapes and sizes. Apparently, it’s all ’bout that bass!

Today’s mileage = 3.28

Total Janathon mileage = 60.91

* This is a lie, not a little white lie, but a massive lie. A lie that is as big as a huge thing.

** Sarcasm in action.

I like reading teenage fiction. Recently I read ‘The Maze Runner’ – fab book. So I’ve got the next couple to read….

Wicked is good.

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
