After such a wild New Year’s Eve it was a wonder that I made it out at all today…
Who am I kidding? We watched Batman, I had a couple of glasses of wine and I carried on knitting the final 25% of my socks. I woke up in time for Big Ben on the radio and a small arsenal of fireworks going off outside before promptly falling asleep again.
Rivington from a distance
Ah well. What I did manage was to use Janathon to procrastinate over actually going out to do Janathon. It was for all of your benefits (honest) as the time was wisely spent creating a Janathon Google Reader bundle so that all of the posts are in one handy location (I take no responsibility for the hours that you will inevetiably lose whilst trying to keep up with everyone else’s posts – it is like trying to stop the tide). Anyway, during the time that I spent faffing around on the internet in my pyjamas the sun came up and the sky was blue (in parts) and I realised that I better get myself out of the door before Ginge came home from work (especially after he texted to say that he’d done 15.5 miles on the exercise bike).
Fields of green
Trainers on, Miles fully charged, out of the door…and nearly straight back in again because blue sky or not, it was bloody freezing out there. Running into a very bitter wind, the first mile took somewhere around a week to complete but the rest wasn’t too bad and I even managed a decent pace in the last mile or so.

Thank you (I think) for the reader bundle.
…what she said!
I’m not in your bundle 😦 Have you done it from the running free website? I wasn’t going to log it on there this year.
You’re definitely on there, I promise! Between reginaldruns and Run for the Quiet.
The Google Reader bundle is great! Now I can use it to procrastinate for the rest of January!
I’m not in there! turriffjoggers.wordpress.com
You are! Down towards the end of the list! Between tubbson2wheels and ultrafletch.
I am currently wading through the bundle – thanks for making it (again!)
Did Rich really do 15.5 miles on an exercise bike? I would die of boredom. Hardcore.
I enjoyed this post. Thanks
Oh, how I missed your lovely photography! Good job getting out into the cold 🙂
It is a time-sucking evil thing…but good job!
