I thought long and hard about how best to complete today's recovery Janathon efforts.
Could I count getting out of bed?
Could I count making it downstairs with out falling over?
Could I count getting my compression socks on without help?
Could I count thumbing a lift to work?
Could I count doing outside duty in the rain?
Could I count eating copious amounts of food in response to my runger*?
Could I count those stretches I did whilst hiding in the cupboard at lunchtime?
Could I count the all the walking around I did during the day?
Could I count the way I had to haul myself up from sitting?
Of course not, that's slacking!
3 miles cycled
2 miles run
Recovery well and truly done!
*Runger a term used to describe the terrible hunger felt after a very long long run, not to be confused with the 'runchies' a similar state which demands snacking type activity.
Why are you doing your stretches hiding in a cupboard - I do mine at the coffee machine, the photocopier and the filing cabinets - far more entertaining! Well done on your recovery exercise x
