Janathon day 13 was the walk to work and back (approx. 15 minutes each way). The reason for this uninspiring entry on my Janathon record is, in all Honesty, because I couldn't be arsed to go for a run. In fairness, it is not just laziness that is causing my reluctance to run. My knees and shins have been feeling a bit sore and overused recently. I'm blaming the pounding they got during my speed sessions.
Janathon day 14 was a 3.29 mile run tonight. I figured I'd better go for an actual run, what with this being a Running blog and everything. I'm also involved in an event called Jantastic, which is another running Challenge. This months target I've set at 4 runs per week. I should've set it at 3. Then if I only did 3 then I wouldn't look so lazy. But me being me, I went for broke and picked 4. I don't think I've ever ran 4 times a week. Certainly not for a couple of years anyway.
However I didn't thoroughly read the rules of the challenge before signing up. It is a 3 month challenge. In January you only have the Number of runs as a target, which would be 4 in my case. However, in February you then have to set another target for how many miles your longest run will be each week (note to self, pick something easy like 10 miles), in addition to the target for number of runs. Then in March, you have to predict your finish time for a given distance and points are taken away for being too fast or too slow. Balls. Let this be a lesson to you all in always reading the small print. Oh well, I suppose it's a really good foundation for my marathon training. Did I mention I was doing another one in June? A really hilly one? When will I learn......?
