So it appears my calves believe in free speech?

I believe firmly in the right to protest, and being given the space to speak up for your rights.

As such, it was hard to stand true to my principles yesterday afternoon and evening while ignoring my calves as they articulated loudly and clearly their view on this whole Janathon malarkey. Each time I sat down for half an hour plus they clearly revisited their right to protest and voiced ever louder their demand to be taken into consideration.

So, true to my principles I agreed to some negotiation. And we talked. And then eventually we cut a deal.

The result was this morning's outing, a miler only retracing some of the route along and back from yesterday. Well ok it ended up being 1.4 miles to be precise, though I don't think that was really cheating (they aren't complaining yet, but maybe they're consulting their union ...). That did include two very brief bursts of upping the pace, for about 20 steps each time. (Yes, I would love to call it sprinting but I have too much respect for the English language.)

However, if I remember the Janathon rules rightly it all counts. So that means that somehow we're on day 4 and I'm still on track.

And now I'm blogged again too!
