So I've really done 29 days - and the end is in sight?

Amazingly, I have now run every day for 29 days. Only two more days to go! Woo-hoo!

Today was a 1.7 mile traipse around one of the routes that I never thought I would get to know by day, night and (today) twilight as well as I now do. It started off hurting quite a lot (bizarrely my right kneecap felt as if it was going to sort of fall off - anyone?) but later on it settled down and the usual calf-moans came into play. However when I was nearly back just after a mile I pushed myself on to do another little loop that added on a bit extra so that left me pleased with my persistence (even though I suspect my calves are consulting their union again to find out if they've got reasonable cause for complaint).

It is interesting how you settle at your own level. Many of co-Janathoners would barely think a run of less than 2 miles registered on their list of options. My respect knows no bounds - indeed this month has only encouraged my awe if anything! For me though it remains a huge achievement (the only catch remaining that there is a limited amount to say to the big wide world on the topic so blogging does become more of a challenge). If I can keep going to the end I will look back with surprise, bewilderment, but also - secretly - quite a bit of pride too. (Peace quiet and stillness on Tuesday is looking pretty attractive too on the other hand, it's not all about the Janathoning, it's also about looking forward to the post-Janathon...)

For now anyway I am done. Day 29 is jogged, logged and now also blogged. Til tomorrow lovely people!
