I know the point of
Janathon is to do exercise every day
for a month . We are now practically half way through the month and I only managed
to do ‘proper’ exercise today. By proper I mean something that entails putting
on work out gear and possibly breaking a sweat. Sadly for the first couple
weeks I have been ill. Not slacking but sporting a bone fide excuse. You may have heard that the flu is practically disseminating the populace. I kind of had a flu-lite (not man-flu, not the life threatening kind but bad enough to stay in bed for 3 days and a few more mobile but feeling shite).
But now I am mostly well I have no excuse, I even re-joined
the gym after a 2 year break. But today, I actually ventured out on a run for
the first time in a month. Wow, does that time make a difference.
Only managed
just over 2 miles and they hurt. Was mainly my lungs which I think may have a
significantly reduced capacity. I still have the lingerings of a cough which
doesn’t help but with a 17km trail race signed up for in April I have to suck
it up and get on with it.
It’s not going to be easy the next few week, nay months to
get to my goal of being fully action ready for Tough Mudder in June. I once
again question my decisions to put myself through these things!
Stats!

Yay, Janathoning and blogging - it's like the olden days!
ReplyDeleteJust gingerly running again due to niggling tendonitis - also hitting exercise bike and walking though. As well as pathetic core work in front of the TV
