#janathon Day 6 – The Hangover

Sigh. Today I had planned to do a 5k. However last night I inadvertantly went out and drank all the beer, so when I woke up this morning I felt groggy, dehydrated, and disinclined to head out for a healthful run, so instead I stayed in bed and drank 2 cups of coffee. Just as

#janathon Day 5

Raaar! Writing this blog as speedily as I had to run! Busy day meant fitting in another 1.2 mile trot around the block. I zoomed round, feeling harrassed, at a pace of 9 minutes 18 seconds a mile, though I definitely slowed down on the hill at the end. Having bot even burnt off enough

#janathon Day Four (is that all?)

Well, another tricky one with a long drive, in fact, a drive that was 70 miles longer than it needed to be as by not paying attention we missed about 5 exits on the M25 and ended up driving all the way round it clockwise to get from Kent to Norfolk rather than going anti

#janathon Day Three

It’s already getting hard to squish these in! I am visiting family at the moment as my Nana is in hospital, so today I knew I would have to fit my run in around 2 visits to the hospital, a visit to my sister, a visit to my other Nanny, and fitting a full days

#janathon Day Two…..

Well. Today was a challenge. A long drive followed by a run in the dark, and the realisation part way there, while the rain hammered down, that I hadn’t bought my sort of waterproof-ish jacket. Or anything particularly reflective so I was going to end up running in the dark like a running ninja, leaping

Shock Absorber Run Bra

When I started running I was aware that something sporty in the bra department would be necessary to keep my chest from giving black eyes to passers by. I owned 2 “sports bras” one came from Primark and was about as useful as chocolate fireguard in the bounce stopping department (and chocolate fireguards are even

Adnams Southwold 10k 2012

Yesterday was my second 10k race. The one with the free beer as it was sponsored by Adnams around the Suffolk village of Southwold where Adnams is based. As promised Sunday was bright and sunny, if cold, so pretty good running weather really. Southwold is about an hours drive from where I live, but there
