Blimey! I made it to the end of Janathon, injury free and actually feeling alright. I had been planning on doing a three mile run along the promenade at Llandudno with Lorna, but after a slight organisational mishap, there wasn’t going to be enough time for us to run together, so I went out myself.
Llandudno beach. How inviting is that?The weather had been dreadful when I arrived in Llandudno, but by the time I was heading out it had cleared up and it was beautiful. Cold, but not too windy. I thought that I was doing a gentle pace along the promenade when runkeeper chimed in at 4:50ish to say I’d done half a mile. For me that’s pretty good, and it hasn’t happened this January. I pulled back very slightly and when I got to the end of the promenade I sort of jogged / walked down to the beach over the pebbles and ran back.
Getting my feet wet at the end of Janathon.The run along the sand was amazing. There was water everywhere and I didn’t bother trying to avoid them, well it would have been impossible. Instead I just enjoyed the cold water on my feet. At two miles it was obvious that I wasn’t going to get to three miles, I’d misjudged the distance. So instead I stopped and went for a paddle. It was wonderful, really, and a lovely way to finish what has been a brilliant month. I’ve enjoyed it tremendously.
Tomorrow is slated as a day off, but I’ve brought my resistance bands – just in case I get the urge!
