I have not updated the last 10 days but the sad news is i had to drop out of Janathon early, running wise due to a bad back, so here is the break down:

Day 21:
Cousin turned up unexpectedly before i had done my running so had to miss today due to going out!

Day 22:
Did a 1.4 mile run today – very slow pace!

Day 23:
Didnt run today as back was twinging! So did weights, sit ups and press ups

Day 24:
Did a 1.36 mile run today at a steady pace

Day 25-27:
Stopped exercise all together on these days as back was injured – felt really bad!! Decided that i would do no more running in Janathon just in case of more injury.

Day 28:
Got my new bike ready for the coast to coast so i decided to do a nice 9 mile ride, got a puncture at 8 mile so had to stop!

Day 29-31:
Well i have done no more exercise on these days either! Here ends Janathon!!!

So this has been the first time i have done anything like this and i am very happy with my results:

In January i did:

22 Miles Running
20 Miles Cycling
44 Miles Commuting

Total: 86 Miles

Now feburary starts and i need to prepare for the C2C bike ride!!!

Over and out!

So here we go:

Day 12

Went running with the GF again today only did 1.4m but felt good about it!

Day 13

Did same run as yesterday but shaved 5minutes off my time! Fastest mile too!

Day 14

Changed from running to cycling today and did 5.4 mile round the great aycliffe way! Felt good took 1 hour, GF came along.

Day 15

Did the same ride as yesterday today, got up early to do it! Cut 25min off my time! Saddle Sore!!!

Day 16

So i made the decision to do walking and core fitness and did sit ups and press ups – want to save my legs for big runs later in the week!

Day 17

Well today sadly all i did was my commute to work, this is due to stopping back late at work and staying at a friends – and yes i will have to go to work in the same clothes tomorrow!!

Tomorrow i plan to do my first running 5K, i should have done this well before now!

Over and out!!!

I think starting tomorrow I’m gonna push up from the 1.2 mile runs to 3 mile runs if i can for the week – starting to feel a lot fitter/healthier.

I know i was meant to weigh in today but i need some new scales!!! Job for Becki…

Well here’s hoping for a good week of running, now that my illness is on its way out!

Also my arms and legs are aching off the sit ups and press ups – God i am so unfit!!!

Today though i got my fastest mile and also ran alot further without having to stop for a walk!

Tomorrow is the big weigh in!!! Different set of scales so not expecting much!!!

I think the missus might even run with me tomorrow!!! We’ll see…
