Janathon Day 28 – Brought to you by the letter ‘J’

So the cunning wheeze of spelling #Janathon in #runart is coming to fruition! We have an ‘O’ from Cathy and an ‘N’ from Phil already with more letters being promised as I type. My original plan today was to go for a long slow run, but that didn’t work out so instead I went for a shorter, slightly faster run, incorporating a local street that I thought would be suitable for a letter ‘J’. I’m rather pleased with the results:

J is for Janathon

I’d have preferred it if the track ran down the centre of the roads but I would have looked a bit daft. It’s also a bit small but there weren’t any longer local roads with a suitable bend and a ‘T’ for the top, so the GPS sampling rate and position jitter make it look a bit spiky. I got a few strange looks from a dog-walker as I made sharp right hand turns and doubled back…

My total run today was a 1km run to the start of the J, about 300m of the J itself, then about 9km of a semi-bimble around Grove and Wantage. All I could think about was how the letter was going to turn out, so I’m pleased it’s worked!

In honour of the title of this post, and with educational entertainment in general, today’s #kidsshowathon is brought to you by Sesame Street:

Aww, gee, Bert!

Bert and Ernie’s bromance was my all-time favourite part of it. Is there anyone who doesn’t like Sesame Street? No, thought not.

Today’s #jokeathon is another Tommy Cooper rip-off:

I went to the doctor’s. He said ‘What appears to be the problem?’.
I said ‘I keep having the same dream, night after night, that beautiful girls are running towards me and I’m pushing them away’.
He said ‘How can I help?’
I said ‘I want you to break my arms.’

Distance run today: 6.5 miles (10.2 km) in 3 parts!
Total distance run: 119.2 miles (190.2 km)
