Lunch, interrupted

I went out for a run and meant to do about three miles or so but I took a wrong turning and then I took another wrong turning and I ended up doing eight miles, which is more than a third of my total mileage during Janathon (thanks Fortnight Flo for pointing that out…) and it’s taken ages because I kept stopping to try and work out where I was and when I get back to the house, I’ve done 7.91 miles and so I round it up to 8 miles and when I get back it’s past lunchtime and now my feet hurt.

Stats
Distance: 8.03 miles
Time: 1:39:44
Pace: 12:25 m/m

  • What is this?! More running?? Febathon???

  • You ran 8 miles the day after Janathon? That’s really good that you did it, I’m sorry you got lost. Keep it up (not the getting lost). It’s a good start to February … 🙂

  • You didn’t tell us janathon was the warm up and the running started today!

  • Way to kick off febathon!! After reading your blog and some tweets from other janathoners, I have an urge to go out and run tonight too, even though I promised myself a rest – what have you done to me? I actually LIKE exercise now…you’ve achieved what Paul McKenna never could! Thanks for everything including gettign me started on Twitter. See you on the 12th x

  • This is good – your new running club should hold no terrors for you now

  • Flippin’ heck, get you! You’ll be leading the run at the get-together next.

  • Well done on the unexpected long run!! Even though getting lost is never that fun … you’ve proved to yourself (or rather you forced yourself unintentionally perhaps!!) that you can run ‘big’ runs!! What next?!?

  • Awesome!
    I’m not sure that sounded like much fun.
    Thanks again for Janathon. My 2011 has started in a totally fabulous way as a result of all the exercise I’ve been doing.

  • I also managed to have a good run as soon as the Janathon finished. Maybe the Febathon is not such a bad idea….?
