Goals for Staying Active Over Christmas with #JLLivebetter

Christmas is a notoriously difficult time to keep up a regular fitness routine. For me it all starts at the end of November after the Norwich Half Marathon. A week off running to recover at the end of November, and then we’re into the business of December and running becomes sporadic and there’s certainly no

#janathon Day Thirty One – THE END!

Well, that’s it guys, it’s all over! Thanks for your support and for a months worth of blogs, but now I have to remember how to do something other than think about running a mile a day in wind, ice, rain, snow, sleet, sun and my pyjamas. I set out to do 1.5 miles this

#janathon Day Thirty – The Sneaky Run

Sneaky run in daylight during the afternoon when I should be working? Oh ok then, I AM self employed. I guess my boss isn’t always so bad after all. My regular running partner, otherwise known as my husband, isn’t expecting to finish work till 7pm, so I thought I’d sneak out in daylight and make

#janathon Day Twenty Nine

So close! Today was another fairly cursory run. It’s incredibly windy out, which is kind of fun when it’s behind you, not so much coming back in the other direction. It’s also that sort of rainy where it’s not quite rain, the air is just full of water. This rapidly turning into a daily weather

#janathon Day Twenty Eight

I felt tiiiired today. One of those days where you feel like even dragging yourself up the stairs is a feat of pure endurance. It was also windy and rainy, but I snatched a moment in between rain showers to head out around my favourite Janathon 1.4 ish mile route. I vowed to take it

#janathon Day Twenty Six – The Run of Terror

“Oh”, I thought. “The Sun is shining, that must have put paid to some of that ice” Wrong. I was quite hungover today. Note last nights 2am blog post. It was the sort of hangover where unless there’s something really urgent to be done you’re still in bed at lunch time. I was still in

#janathon Day Twenty Five

Well, it’s 2am on day 26 and I just remembered to blog about day 25. I suspect that bodes badly for day 26. We returned from the dryish if icy Kent streets to find Norfolk still under an inch thick layer of ice. So, indoor run it was. I did exactly a boring indoor mile.

#Janathon Day Twenty Four

The pavements were even clearer today, though the remaining ice was deceptively disguised as normal pavement. I was already running late this morning and I have a rapidly approaching deadline for a travel piece on Norwich, so a mile and a half whip round the block twice was todays fulfilling of my “mile a day”
