January 2019 ... here we go again!

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

12 January 2019           17,362 steps           45 minutes running          weight 80.3kg

   Yesterday’s good news at work resulted in much celebration, which continued with drinks after work and again in the evening. So, it was no great surprise when I jumped on the scales this morning and discovered I had gained a whole extra kilo of weight since yesterday. But what deliciously sweet poundage it was, with no regrets at all.

   Even so, and despite the ongoing heat which presented itself as 33°C and the usual high humidity, it did make me resolve to round out the week with a slow, gentle plod on the treadmill, it being far too hot to consider running outside. We don’t have air-conditioning, so it was still ridiculously hellish on the treadmill, but at least I could put on a fan at full force to provide some relief. Another 45 minutes of genuine running therefore gets added to the running log, and with it comes a smug sense of satisfaction: a good week of running overlaying the tremendous good news at work. A red-letter week, you might say.

   But I could probably do with a rest day now. Maybe even two.
