sparkysmum Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi folks, just wondering if anyone is doing Janathon http://www.janathon.com/ You just commit to some form of exercise everyday then blogging about it via facebook or some other means. I am quite excited about it and looking forward to kick starting the new year with exercise. Anyone care to join me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I really like that idea. I've joined the Facebook page and will post on there. Thanks for the info. I'm excited about starting this New Year with exercise too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I've joined the FB page too . I've actually started running almost every day recently anyway, so it'll give me extra incentive to keep it up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hey, thats glad to have the company. Was my first ever Facebook post! Just dont do social media.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 That's good, Alli . I've send you a friend request so see you on FB . It's not a scary place if you have the right friends . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Did my fitness and made my first post. I felt strangely nervous doing it which is silly. Have fun anyone else who is joining in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Managed a short run in the wind and rain with an oncoming cold. Hoping it won't get much worse than that! Are you blogging, PL? I've posted on Facebook - not quite sure if that's what I'm supposed to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 No, I didn't want to do a blog so I went to their FB page and posted on the button that says make a post or something similar. I wasn't sure if that was right either but other people had done the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hello! Vile weather, lack of gym, sick yorkie and no husband (he's down South visiting my lovely MIL) saw my Janathon off to the merest whimper of a start! Still I guess it could have been worse. I've no blog either also just posting a note on their F/book page. Quite excited to get into it if weather improves, sick dog gets better and hubby returns from his reli fest! Happy New Year!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Oh dear, not the best start . I've got a stinking cold now so haven't gone to do the hill race with the boys but did manage a slow, short 1.3m run round the estate. Didn't expect it to start snowing half way round .

sparkysmum Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 slightly better today, longish dog walk, then half hour on bike followed by 2k on rowing machine, then a lovely swim to cool down. Yes snow was shocking! Do you know how we are meant to log our exercise? I have just been puting a wee note on their page, but I think you are meant to "log" as well. Think I am going to enjoy this!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think it's ok just to post to FB if you don't have an actual blog. That's what I'm doing anyway. I log my runs on Strava anyway but I'm not posting those. I suppose our efforts aren't being added to the total but mine won't amount to that much anyway!

sparkysmum Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Sorry your cold isn't clearing up Are you trying anything I like lemsip or supermarkets own cold cures. Well done for running tho' I had a walk jog with the yorkies and another longish walk later. Had planned on the gym too but did Mums shopping instead. Legs like lead now Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Day 4..... Went out for hours with DD for an eating event. Basically my exercise was walking from the car to the restaurant and an epic amount of talking. Day 5..... more traditional exercise. 15 mins on the treadmill which I set at it's highest incline because I want to be good at walking uphill. Then I did 45 mins on the bike. I like my walking dvds and todays is the backstreets of Singapore and had Niki and the Dove on the iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
