Tonight I very nearly wussed out and very nearly went to the gym instead of braving the elements.
However, I gave myself a stern talking to and reminded myself just how much I hate the gym when I am there and before I knew it I was donning my cold weather running gear and hitting the streets!
It was very wet and very, very, very windy but for some strange and perverse reason I actually really enjoyed it and came back feeling A-L-I-V-E!
At one point I actually thought I was going be blown off my feet and had visions of me ending up in The Land of Oz! It's not often I want some extra weight but I tonight I would have been grateful for an extra stone or 2 to weight me down securely!
Not only did I have the wind and rain to contend with I had stupid members of the general public rushing around blinkered by hats, hoods and brolly's making me jump into the road to avoid being ploughed down!
However, despite all this I had an enjoyable 3.56 mile run and felt energised by it!
Workout 4/6 complete for this week's Jantastic!
You can view my route here!
BRING IT ON!
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!
