It has been mental at school. Do this. Do that. Everyone seems to be feeling the pressure at the moment. So at the end of a full days teaching followed by a bit of bus duty I returned to my classroom to contemplate what of the 100s of jobs I can cross off my to do list. Shall I plan for tomorrow? Shall I look at data? Shall I mark my year 7 books? My head was spinning with 'stuff' – so in an attempt to help settle my thinking I completed a very important job, that wasn't even on the to do list, I tidied my desk….

It just had to be today's picture…it doesn't happen that often.

Janathon Day 29

Thursday: always a busy day. However, they are doubly busy when a full day of teaching is followed by parents' evening. Then throw Janathon into the mix and you have a very busy day.

It was a bitterly cold night when I finally trudged out of school, and after a bit of a snow shower this afternoon I was faced with the prospect of scraping the car of ice to get home.

Therefore, although you've probably guessed already, it was a trip to the gym for tonight's run. It was a quick 4-miler on the treadmill – quick because I wanted to get home for food. The past couple of nights at the gym has shown me one thing – legs are feeling strong at the moment – must try and get a couple of races sorted – don't want to waste the mileage.

Today's mileage = 4.13

Total Janathon mileage = 119.06

This is a box….

This is a tick….

Sometimes they are best left apart.

In other news…

I ran for the 23rd day in a row! For one reason only: Janathon. At the woods in the dark. It was very cold, windy AND snowing; hence I didn't run far.

Today's mileage = 2.83

Total Janathon mileage = 95.98

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

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.
