#Janathon Day 30: 7777 miles done- A penultimate day reflection

As the end of Janathon approaches and I wait for Dave to finish gabbing to someone I ask the question:

Where was I at the start? Answer: Hobbling onto a set of straining scales.

Where am I now? Answer: Running better than I have since last summer and nearly half a stone lighter than on New Year’s Day.

After being unable to run much in November and December I’ve covered far more ground this month. So overall I exit feeling pretty positive and ready to take on the challenges of 2015.

So what are the targets?

1. Develop the cycling in February
2. Neyland 10k (and others) to get my running pace up.
3. Neyland Duathlon to try a cycling sportive.
4. The Tenby Long Weekend, 72 mile cycle on the Saturday and half marathon on the Sunday.
5. Abingdon marathon with offspring?
6. Autumn series: Dale/ Cardiff half (sub 1:45) and Sodbury Slog.

And maybe some other half marathons to fill in the time.

Meanwhile Dave is ready to go running……leaving our abode of work behind…

…and up the hill…

…and another with the ‘high leg kick’ action..

..and Dave silhouetted against the brow..

..and at last a nice flat bit.

So, there we are, One more day and if I come home from darts tonight in one piece I might have a chance of a run to round off Janathon in style!

PS. Just noticed that since I started running again i covered 7777 miles, the number of the ‘Chris’. Be scared, be very scared.
