They think it’s all over. Thank god it is now. The last week has been difficult to stay on track – a mixed bag of running, turbo trainer and a couple of nights out with no training. I take my hat off to those that have managed something every day – it takes some doing.
Another shameful day yesterday. My backside flatly refused to move off the sofa and this weeks episode of ‘Africa’ swept me off to a place where janathon doesn’t exist. Tonight I did my best to get back on track with a half hour on the turbo. Looking forward to the thaw and getting back outside again.
Another night on the turbo trainer in the garage. 30 minutes while listening to a medley of music I’ve put together for my dad’s 80th birthday party this weekend.
What with the snow and travelling to work, took the opportunity to walk to a meeting yesterday. Euston station to oxford circus – 2.7km.
Definitely a festive feel with lots of families out sledging and enjoying the christmas-card scenery. For my Janathon exercise, went walking with my wife and daughter across the local fields. Splendid.
Damn those weather forecasters – they’re so good these days. Snow arrived bang on cue and deposited exactly the 4″ they said it should. Took to the bike turbo trainer in my garage and turned the room into a steam sauna after 30 mins spinning. Totals so far; Running – 42.1km Swimming – 1km Turbo trainer – 3 hours Road bike – 20km Line dancing – 3 hours
I think Janathon is doing me in. My heart rate is 39bpm. #instantheartrate bit.ly/AkwYCX
With the forecast snow, thought it best to test the calf out with a run tonight – probably last chance for a few days. Got around my usual 5km circuit without problem so pretty happy with that.
However I did miss a second day exercise yesterday as it was my daughters birthday. A meal and west-end show so no time to fit something in. Long month January!
You may have noticed my lack of a post yesterday. It would be easy to make excuses but the sad truth is I sat on my backside all evening (and thoroughly enjoyed it). Today however, the shame – oh my, the shame!
In a shabby attempt to make amends, this evening I did 1 hour on the bike turbo trainer. I know it’s too little too late but please don’t be too hard on me.
First bike ride on the road this year – what a pleasure to get out on the country lanes again. Great sunset as well. 20 enjoyable km’s.
Running total – 37.1km
Swimming – 1km
Turbo trainer – 1.5 hours
Road bike – 20km
Line dancing – 3 hours
