Janathon Joys: Day 31 - 8

Tired, hungry, headachey, late home after shopping, and dubious about the frequent interludes of drizzle: these are the trials that Janathon sends to try us.

But I abandoned the shopping, changed and went, knowing that otherwise I might fail to find even the minimum of motivation required to get me out of the door later. 15 minutes later I am home - sweaty, a bit muddy underfoot, and even hungrier, but I have jogged, and I have logged. And now, as my pasta bubbles away on the stove I am blogged. I avoided the very worst puddles, I failed to fall flat on my face in the slippery muddy section, and I even somehow managed to choose one of those brief periods when the drizzle held off for my brief venture out. And of course, yet again, the wonder of Janathon came through as I defeated my own demons.

This morning I snoozed many times and got up late, thus the evening run today. I have to be in work quite early tomorrow but maybe I will set my alarm and jog early. And no, I'm not doing this by vote - the demons that work against me on a cold, dark evening aren't half as determined as the demons that fight me when my bed is warm and cosy!
