I haven't been in class today as I have been on a course so I wasn't quite as exhausted as I usually am on a Thursday evening!
It has turned really cold with a lot of snow on the fells so I wrapped up warm and set off.
Traffic in Kendal at the moment is mayhem with a mixture of road closures due to road works and bridges closed due to flood damage so I think everyone is abandoning their cars and taken to the streets! Tonight I really struggled to get past everyone walking at a ridiculously slow pace, weaving around the pavement whilst texting at the same time! Even my cries of "excuse me" didn't work!
Walkers seem to think they have priority! I tried not to let it annoy me too much and kept on running and smiling through gritted teeth!
Tonight I invented a new game only possible due to the traffic congestion! I joined a 2 lane one way road (on the pavement!) at the same time as a Police Car and tried to race it to the end! I am pleased to inform you that 3/4 mile later I had won! Although to be honest this wasn't a particularly hard achievement but it was hugely satisfying passing all these cars going at a snails pace, and I dare say particularly frustrating for the drivers being passed by a not so fast runner!
So tonight's run adds 6.21 miles to my Janathon Total!
Total Janathon Running miles: 44.93
Total Janathan Walking miles: 12.67
Total Janathan Cycling miles: Zero
Total Janathon Swimming miles: 2.56
TOTAL JANATHON MILEAGE: 60.16
Positive Thought for the day: I can beat a Police Car whilst running!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
