Janathon day 1: hello 2014!

Happy new year, everyone! So here we are again: a month of training every day for Janathon.

In the absence of any decent internet connection whatsoever at the place I'm staying, I will do nothing more at this point than record the fact that I made it out for an extremely wet and windy run through some muddy Isle of Wight countryside. Apparently I did 3.61 miles in 49:23 - including warm-up (for all the good it did me) and cool-down, as well as a few moments of indecision as to which way to go. I got back completely drenched, and stinging from the freezing rain that had been flaying any exposed skin, but it felt good to have been out to "take the air"!

When I can find anything resembling internet access I will update this post with some pictures etc. Until then, consider this a little work-out for your imagination...

UPDATE! Finally we're home and in reach of broadband; here is a link for the run itself are a few pics from this day to get the ball rolling...
