Janathon - DAY 6, Getting tired already!

When I got up this morning the weather looked promising - cold, frosty BUT Dry! I didn't even complain about having to de-ice the car!  Unfortunately due to having to go to work I wasn't able to run until this evening by which time the weather had changed!

So... it looks like I am back to my original plan - nails, wood, hammer at the ready, contacted Noah for plans, now ... whose willing to help build it?!!

Tonight I went out running in the rain, nothing unusual there I hear you say, but the rain tonight was the type that gets you VERY wet!! You are probably thinking "It's rain, it's water, that's what water does - it gets you wet!".  However, there are many different types of rain and living in the Lake District I am an expert in this field - heavy rain, fine rain, driving rain, sleety rain, drizzle, but today's rain was almost like a mist.  I didn't actually notice it was raining whilst I was out, but when I got home I was completely soaked - and today it wasn't all sweat, I know this because my feet were sodden too!!!

Anyhow, after yesterdays effort's the legs were less willing today.  I was keen to set a good pace again, mainly because its Friday night and I wanted to get home before wine o'clock, but the body and mind weren't cooperating! I have come to the conclusion that I must run on solar batteries and mine are in urgent need of a recharge!  Why?  Well, the little bit of sunshine I enjoyed yesterday was enough to power my legs to run the fastest they have ever run, so to achieve my dream and goal of a 2 hour half marathon I am in desperate need of some more sunshine! Perhaps a foreign holiday is in order...


As my batteries were running low I kept the run relatively short this evening, and managed 4.21 miles but was disappointed to see my pace had indeed decreased after my high of yesterday.  Perhaps I'm craving a rest day already... NO I WILL NOT GIVE IN!!
