I mentioned yesterday that I've been feeling rotten, and as it continues I reckon it probably is a bug that I've managed to pick up - only a mild one, so no sympathy deserved here - exacerbated my exhaustion. I wonder if the Janathon has helped or hindered with the exhaustion? I suspect it means I am more physically tired and therefore sleep a bit better, but who knows. (In reality, sleep is a talent I have never managed to successfully develop to a reasonable level - I am in awe of those who go to bed, drop off, and get up full of beans the next morning raring to go. One day ....)
Anyway, with this stomach bug and general tiredness still getting me down, and having decided I want to get my bike out this afternoon for a brief outing, I actively concluded a short run would be wise - fulfil my obligations to the Janathon God, while being relatively nice to myself.
So on a cold but bright morning, avoiding many dog walkers and a couple of cyclists, I jogged 1.3 miles in 13 minutes. Pace reasonable, heart pumping enough, chill just about deterred, legs kept moving, and home again.
I have now showered, I have logged, and shortly I will have blogged. This means that for the first time for ages I feel fully up to date and can now forget Janathon for a few hours rather than having it hanging over me because either I haven't run or even if I have, getting the blog written seemed to be beyond me!
But yes, I am done.
Big smile today.
You *must* log and blog your bike ride, too, surely? Give yourself the credit!
