Well day 6 is here, and I'm still mobile, in fact I've had a fairly active day, decided to go 'back to the floor' and helped the lads at work by sorting all the stock in the coldroom, so spent a good 4 hours (on & off)at -20c shift ing a few hundred 12kg (ave) boxes of food around - I could of logged that as my exercise, but that would be cheating really wouldn't it!
So once home, whilst eating a nice bowl of chicken and pasta, and trying to sort a PUK code for my sons phone, who had decided that it would be cool to Pin Lock his phone but then locked himself out! I started to play with Running Free's Map Creator I'm loving the fact that it snaps to the road, and almost picks its own routes. So it wasn't long before I had a new 5km run to try tonight. This one is all tarmac, and street lights, which is ideal for evening runs at this time of year. It's got a lot of up and down in it too but nothing to severe, though some are long. Hopefully I'll get a GPS signal on my phone one day, and will have some accurate data for those that are interested (@copy7t).
The last time I was in that part of town I bumped into a couple of old friends, who were out running - which reminds me, I must make contact somehow and hook up for some runs, as its could get lonely after a while. Any other #Janathoners in the Dartford area?

Day 5 Jogged Logged and Blogged
I think my times on this route will improve but I'm conscious that my thighs (quads?) are starting to complain more each run at the moment - any before and after care advice would be appreciated before I do any actual damage.
Also on a less important but potentially as painful issue - nipples - again any before or after care advice?
I don't know how this happened but I can't get it to go back again!!
Has to be vaseline for nipples before and after running always!
ReplyDeleteQuads - Stick to flat routes as much as possible. Don't run too hard/fast/long. If you get to the end and feel like running further.. don't. Just take that run and put it in the bank!
ReplyDeleteNipples - Only advice I can offer is to stick to your tech tops and don't wear anything too heavy. Avoid cotton tops. So far I've been lucky here.
