Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Windy and very wet last night after work so wasn't looking forward to my run but surprisingly, I quite enjoyed it! Picked a slightly flatter route to save my chest overdoing it but managed 2.2m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Struggling to fit in exercise with work but just had a fab 20 lengths pool + a while in the steam room and now a couple of G&T's, well it is Friday night Delighted to have finished week 1 Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The weather's not exactly conducive either, is it . Went out yesterday afternoon in the wind and rain but felt much better than I have for ages so managed 4.1 miles. Quite slow but happy to have done a bit longer for a change. Got a 3 mile cross country tomorrow so feeling a bit more confident about that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Bad, bad couple of days - dodgy tummy and all that but back on my bike today for an hour. I really missed it and feel much better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sorry to hear that . Good you're back on the bike though . Went to my first step class in 2 weeks this morning but it didn't feel right not running today so I went for a little jog round the golf course in the snow .

sparkysmum Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Pretty hardcore ANH I had another swim day, running tomorrow, maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 At last 3 mile walk jog in icy rain! Great to be out tho'. Yorkies not impressed Good luck with your cross country ANH! Hope conditions aren't too vile for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Sleet and strong winds on the journey down to the Borders but thankfully the weather cleared up and it wasn't even raining when the race started . I have never seen so much mud . YS had his shoe sucked off as did numerous others. There were 4 rivers to wade through (ankle deep) which was great for washing the mud off. Until we got to the other side where there was more mud . I even managed a sprint at the end to prevent someone I'd just overtaken, overtaking me .

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I must really have the Janathon bug . Went for a run in a mini-blizzard in the dark . Less than a mile but it still counts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I do take my dog out twice a day for approx 3km brisk walking( she does about 10) across farmland and moor, in all weathers, but that's it. And I have cut down food which is hard, as I do like my food.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Big fail with admin - I haven't been posting. I'm really, really bad at admin But I have been exercising. An hour each day of walking and biking. Feeling good about myself - apart from the admin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've run a marathon so far in Jan (OH does one in just over 3 hours, it's taken me 2 weeks ). Mostly very short distances but today I tried a longer cross country route which was fab - 6.4 miles from the front door, barely a person seen and these views ...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Well, that's the Janathon over. I surprised myself by managing a run every day in January and clocking up almost 80 miles, despite suffering from a cough or a cold most of the month and the weather throwing rain/wind and snow at me. Janathon was a great motivator . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Wooooow, awesome, so impressed, what an achievement! Afraid my Janathon was more of a whimper and mostly consisted of walking the yorkies and a few runs. Next year? or Juneathon when the weather is better and lighter? Might be up for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Congrats ANH. I've been very bad at blogging but have really upped my exercise. I work for 90 minutes several times a week now and even on my days off I squeeze in30 minutes. I've started all sorts of resistance training and have found muscles I didn't know I had. I love feeling all my new muscles. I've got a long way to go but I love Janothon for getting this year going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
