Somehow, the fact that it was dark and cold, I wasn't very motivated, my legs ached all the way round, and it was all just a bit of a struggle was ... well ... just right really! I know the idea has been bandied around that Day 31 should be somehow a celebration and I can see the attraction - but I quite liked the fact that the final day was pretty representative of why and how it had been a challenge to get there.
It had been a long day with much driving, various tech annoyances at work, and all the fun of a governors' meeting as soon as I got home. As has so often been the case, therefore, it seemed my run was crammed in before a late dinner. As I ran I seemed to end up having a stitch nearly all the way round (which is not so usual) - adding to the high self-consciousness that is already inherent in pretty well every step of each run I do anyway! Maybe my body knew that somehow this was the last one and it simply wanted to mark the occasion in its own way? 0r maybe I've got there just in time, and my body is/was finally about to go on strike? Who knows - but it definitely all came together to remind me clearly just how much I've had to push myself to keep going!
However, despite all the above, and taking into account ice and snow, rain and wind, extraordinary procrastination and inherent laziness, I can truly now announce that I HAVE JANATHONED.
Tomorrow if I get a chance I will write a final round-off blog. But for now I am simply going to revel in my own amazement.
For with this final paragraph, the whole thing is DONE!!!! 31 Days of consecutive up, out, and jogged. 31 Days of logged. And now ... 31 Days of blogged as well.
HOORAY!!!!!!
Well done, you've done it! Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteWell done. If no celebration there was at least satisfaction
