Oh golly, by 11.50 NYE my eyes where rolling backwards in their sockets. I hate that feeling – I blame the homebrew sloe gin, feckin potent stuff.
At 12:10 I got the feeling it was time to exploit the anaesthetic effect of New Years Eve and pulled on the running toggs. Lynn and I headed out for our local one-miler and pulled off a very satisfactory 13 minute trog around the hilly block. We suffered only moderate abuse from local revellers and the knee could only be described as low level twingey.
Knee reinforcements are expected to arrive shortly, so hopefully I’ll be able to build on this early Janathon kick start.
Happy New Year.

Oh well done, that’s very brave work doing your first Janathon run *before* going to bed. At least you can relax for the rest of the day.
you are most definetly bonkers, but well done
knee reinforcements? Pray tell.
Excellent! Happy new knee, hopefully.
Wow! I am incrediably impressed that you went for a run that early / late?! Very definitely dedication to the cause… In fact the thought of the aneasthetic effects of alcohol whilst running is enough to tempt me to try that next time I’m out drinking before a run… I may just burp less!!
Kudos. You must have been first cab off the rank, and likely the maddest of the day
