Painful despite the sun: Day 31-16

Day 15 of the Janathon (halfway there minus one!) was one of those days when if it wasn't for the Janathon discipline I'd be anywhere but out jogging: I didn't want to go, once I was out my breathing was harsh and my legs complained, and just for added value I was grumpy!

However, despite the far from promising context I managed 1.8 miles which is far further than I thought was feasible when I left. I made it back in one piece too, and since then have had cooked breakfast and a shower so all is right with the world after all.

I know these are the days when the whole idea of running every day is valuable because it forces you out.   I suppose it's also why I do it, as it has already had the desired effect, having rejuvenated me somewhat from couch potato to mildly exercised runner bean*. I will keep it up.

(*) stretched analogy, I know, but brain clearly turning to mush even as other muscles slowly generating some sense of self-worth again!
