Janathon Day 8: The first week of jogging, slogging and blogging is over!
I set my alarm for 7. I woke up at 8:30. Damn, there was my plan of getting up early and getting out for a run by 8 scuppered. And it meant I’d lost 90 minutes of my day but then I thought, if I spend 90 minutes fewer on Facebook and Twitter, that means I’ve clawed back those 90 minutes, hooray!
I decided running could wait until tomorrow though, when I WILL get up at 7am and go for a run and this morning I went to the gym instead.
My gym isn’t very far away and my running-to-the-gym PB is currently 2:42 and today I thought I’d try and beat my PB and, wahoo, I SMASHED IT, I AM BADASS, I NAILED IT, I TOTALLY OWNED IT, I BLEW IT OUT OF THE PARK*, etc. with a new running-to-the-gym PB of 2:36.
Then I did some gym stuff like go on the rowing machine and cross-trainer and, to finish off, I did 20 minutes of the Audiofuel turbo trainer track (that I reviewed here) instead of the treadmill as I’m just a crazy, reckless, carefree, spontaneous kind of girl who likes to mix it up, as The Damned would say (if they were singing the wrong words).
So, now we’re into the second week of Janathon – well done everyone keep up the good work!

May I congratulate you on your new PB running to the gym… and actually putting up with being in a gym. Stationary bikes and treadmills are an absolute last resort for me – I always seemed to end up on the machine next to the big sweaty bloke gasping like an asthmatic pit pony.
I keep going to the gym instead of running. Somehow in my mind it seems quicker and easier. I don’t know why though, because I spend an hour in the gym, when I only usually run for about 30 minutes at the moment.
the word ‘ass’, without the ‘bad’ part is used in my post today so hopefully doesn’t warrent a slap 🙂 arse is a better word though…
That is fine. Was it about donkeys? I’m off to investigate.
