26th of Janathon

The End is Nigh, but doesn't mean we shouldn't still push ourselves nor should we stop having fun with it, and so today I have done 2 runs,  one for #RunArt, and one for #Janathon.
So after dropping the kids to school, and walking the dog round the heath (a walk of approx 5k) I had a bit of brekkie, and read a few blogs, then headed out.
 I was going to do a 15k run today, which would cover my runart piece, but a bit of pre plotting meant that the runart was only  4.5k and wasn't within my usual long run route, so I figured do two, the long and then the artwork but again  changed my mind, and chose the 4.5km runart as a 'warm up' to the longer one.

So here is my first run and my latest piece of RunArt

Once done, I popped back in doors for a drink, and was then going to head out on my usual long run route, but after having taken the dog round the heath this morning I thought I'd have another go at the 'Green Route' footpath round the heath, with the sun out and blue skies, unlike last time where a impromptu afternoon nap meant I didn't do it until dusk. Although it's not as long as I had initially planned, coupled with the RunArt, today I have done

1x RunArt @4.50km in 24:04

1x Green Route @7.27km in 41:49

So 11.77km for the day

According to Runtastic I have run 170.02km so far for Janathon so 5 days to cover 29.98km, 6 a day will give me a 200km and 31 day runstreak

Having run at 8am yesterday, and not running until almost 8pm tonight, I had the feeling that I had missed a day because 36hrs between runs seemed a long time, after the last 3 weeks. The run tonight was just the usual 5k street lit loop, but I finished it in a field, because I wanted the open space of the football pitches for a #runart attempt for the new blogs banner.

It's not quite how I wanted it but for a first attempt in a completely black field, with only some faint white lines of the pitches to guide me, you can see what it says

Today's run was a new route, a new route based on a new idea, a new idea based on a random GPS route posted by @buriyako.
Today's run was my first entry in to the world of

#RUNART 

This is the Stickman

Basically @buriyako posted one of his runs, @copy7t thought it had a shape to it, and said it looked like an anteater, so the seed of thought was sown, and next time @buriyako put some effort in and ran a rhino, 7t ran a snake, and the Stickman was my first attempt - to be honest me and my boys  had seen that the main roads on Dartford looked like a stickman with the town centre ring road being the head, so it was an obvious first attempt.
 But the challenge is now on, the next animal has been decided on, just the route to plot

And this is the birth of RUNART
