Really enjoyed a short run after the ups ands downs of chatting to a hormonal teenage boy-I'm sure they are worse than girls!! As usual I aim to remain calm and wise but that is not how I end up. Supposed to be the grown up but I do wonder at my own hormones sometimes.
This all spurred me on to just get out there even though I felt like curling up and feel sorry for myself? Must say that afterwards I cooked a yummy roast dinner and even got a big hug from my emotional son! There is a God!
Distance: 3km
Time: 25 mins
Reward: emotional release!! Oh and wine and peanuts of course!!
Music: new audio fuel download-really good beats

Well I have really messed up with this doing something energetic every day, haven't I? Mainly the weathers fault of course-it keeps on being windy, cold and wet. Not typical of January really.
So plan B:
On the way home from my work this afternoon I had a brainwave! I would not always have to go running but could instead take part in some living room aerobics ie. buy latest Davina DVD. I have never had a lot of success with the things in the past, but desperate measures and all that.
So while it was lashing and howling outside I was lunging and doing spotty dogs and all sorts in my front room (curtains closed obviously). Actually did make me quite sweaty-I even had to turn down the radiator.
Husband came in from work to find me doing reverse abdominal crunches with my cat supervising through one eye and narrowly avoiding being kicked by my scissor leg action. Anyway he just laughed (husband not cat) and said 'you're funny' Great-that was my aim you know, to have a comedy act ready for him coming home from work.
Quite enjoyed Ms McColl but not sure when novelty will wear off and DVD ends up in charity shop. Perhaps next week?

Back to it!

After a slight lapse in my running, I got back to it this afternoon just before the sunset. A magnificent sunset glowed pink in the sky. It made me feel all rosy and happy that I made it out after all. As it's a new year, I thought I'd better update my running tunes on my ipod and loaded up some new audiofuel. Sadly couldn't quite remember how to do this before I set out but will play about with it before next time! I do wish I was more techno minded at times.
distance about 4km
time usual 30mins
music-old audiofuel but soon to be updated!
reward-will think of something I'm sure :)

It ain't happening!

Look, there has been no jog, no log just a blog. Did take delivery of a new vacuum cleaner though and this involved some pretty vigorous work all round the house. So many attachments, it is marvellous( still talking about the vacuum).
Maybe a jog tomorrow, I hope so.

After a very gentle start to Janathon I actually went for a proper run today. Not massively delighted by the freezing ness and whippy wind but still, I couldn't bear the idea of going to the gym instead, so really had no option.Plus the remaining Xmas choccies were whispering rather too intently!
Heavy rain meant that some of my run was a bit squelchy which does of course make my trainers look quite hard core! The usual happy dogs came a yapping but luckily were called back to owners heels so didn't have to dothe jog on the spot thing till they got tired.
Distance-4km
Time-30mins+5mins walking for warm up
Reward-hot bubble bath...aahh

Day 2 and it's all quiet here
Monday 2nd January 2012
Freezing, sleeting and windy-so no running going to happen today. Arose this morning from a very poor sleep-notably my teenage son was watching bizarre programmes on telly at, wait for it, 3AM!! Noooooo. This infuriated me and left me unable to return to a cosy, relaxed slumber. Anger normally drives me out on a run but instead just frazzled me up.
Will walk to the curry house tonight tho, so all is not lost :)

I am only doing a very quick blog today.
Decided on a walk with Mr W and our 5 toed sloth (teenage son!) in nearby woodland. It was beginning to get dark near the end of our walk and we were extremely glad of our son's ipod to act as a torch like gadget to read the map or we would still be roaming now.
Happy New Year everyone!
