Marathon Talk's Jantastic Challenge 2013 started today, a challenge I rather bombed out of last year. I've kept my planned runs to 4 runs a week to fit in with my marathon plan, although I'll be reconsidering that of course in two weeks after the Essar Four Villages.
Today I also had to finish a cover letter for a job application which a friend is going to proof read for me, as well as emailing my referees to check they were happy to write nice things about me. This took up most of the morning, after which I braved the drizzle to meet up for lunch/window shopping with a Uni friend who lives across in Glasgow. My final hurdle of the day was a rather tedious committee meeting which went on FAR too long, and after which I had to lock the building.
I can't say I was particularly in the mood for running after all that!
However... I got home, got changed, set the watch off and figured that I'd get a run in even if it was shorter than my planned 4 miles just so I could tick off the run on Jantastic. In the end I meandered around the roads a bit and so managed to get my 4 miles in after all and felt pretty good for it although that stupid muscle is still twingeing a bit. Glad to get the first run under my belt, and going to do JogScotland tomorrow as I've had to rejig my week quite a bit to fit in a recording all day Saturday.
Stats from GRG. And got a 10 miler to plan for Friday ... yerk!
