#janathon Day Nineteen
January 19, 2013
I couldn’t face another day jogging around my front room. I just couldn’t.
We’ve had even more snow overnight and today, so I thought that the layer on top of yesterdays ice might make it grippy enough to risk the outside.
I wore my old running shoes, which felt weird, heavy and unweildy, and off I went.
I had to take it really easy, almost walking up and down a couple of hills, and round corners, but it wasn’t too bad at all mostly. The bit I worried about most, a woodland section, was actually no problem at all as the compacted snow with no ice layer gave plenty of nice crunchy grip as well as a beautiful view.
Somewhat frustratingly I forgot to take my Nike+ off of treadmill setting, so I didn’t get the GPS, but the distance seemed fairly accurate to what I expected on that route, maybe .1 of a mile out. A slowish pace, but not bad considering the conditions!
It was fun, I wish I’d done the longer route now. Far more fun than jogging around your front room chasing an imaginary dog around an island.
I am home, I didn’t break anything, and it wasn’t even that cold! It felt far more bitter out earlier this week.
Tonights dinner is sausages and sweet potato mash. Yum, comfort food.

You’ve made me feel bad! Perhaps I should have got out there!
Yesterday I was slipping down the road on the ice, clinging onto walls to get to the pub and someone ran past me! Guilted me into trying it today!
Yay! Welll done. braving the elements does sometimes pay off once you get over the initial ‘bloody-hell its freezing and slippery’ feeling 🙂
The corners! Definitely the worst bit.
