Janathon Day 21. The one I forgot

So if “carrying stuff to a car, sitting in the car, carrying stuff from car to student accommodation, walking around town in wind and rain, eating lunch and going home again” counts as exercise, then my Janathon is still on track. If I’m completely honest, with getting my daughter all packed up and back to university I completely forgot about Janathon and by bedtime didn’t even consider a quick plank or some other minimal exercise. It didn’t even cross my mind.

Whoops.

Think that’s my Janathon done.

Janathon Day 20.

Saturday! Time for parkrun, or volunteering, or getting out for a long run… or not feeling 100% and the weather being lousy and just about managing a 30 second plank before bed. You chose.

Janathon Day 19.

Even shorter than yesterday. 10 leg lifts on the stairs on my way to bed. Yawn.

Janathon day 18.

Day 18. Um. Think I managed a 60 second plank. That’s it.

Janathon Day 17. The one with the chest torch

A run. After work. In the dark. On my own. Mmmm, not so inviting.

A chance to finally try out the chest torch I bought myself? Oh well, s new gadget – now you’re talking!

5K later, after running in our dark little lanes I can say the chest torch is a huge hit. I could see at least 50m ahead of me, I could see my Garmin, and traffic definitely slowed down (and one car even stopped) because they could see me coming so clearly. I felt brace and safe. Also, I felt extra hardcore when it started sleeting on me. Running with chest torch

Janathon Day 15

So, buoyed up by the success of yesterday’s long run, obviously today was going to be another Janathon success!

In a parallel universe, after yesterday’s long run, I was so pooped I could only attempt a plank, and only hold it for 45 seconds. Which do you think was the version that actually happened? !

Janathon Day 14. Ruuuuuuun!

(That’s a long run by the way).

Finally up and out today, for a 7 mile up and down run, through woods, along paths and down fields. Whilst it’s true my nose ran more than I did (i.e. constantly), I did find a new footpath to try. It turned out to be less interesting than I’d hoped. I also demonstrated amazing willpower in running past my own house with my Garmin showing 6.5 miles in order to round it up to a respectable 7 miles. Impressive!

So anyway, day 10 was more lower legs lifts. Just 20, just before bed, but done.
