5K every day.
Day 20 (yesterday). 6.30pm.
Really quite painful. Kept pace but I think it’s a tendon thing. Probably stopping. Bit disappointed.
Still, not a bad mile count or run of days. Le sigh.

Day 20. Rest day. Ankle too bad but it will be better tomorrow. Disappointed but I’d rather finish it. Also, rain.
Treated myself to a compression sock.

5K every day.
Day 19. 7am.
Tasty mist. Not at all cold. Really tho.
Ankle quite hideously painful when walking, but ran on it fine. Not sure what that means.

Day 18. 8.30am.
Chipping away at the time, third fastest 5K ever!
Had a *moment* with “Hounds of Love” (Bush not ‘Heads) and this tree.
Today’s big news is that I’m washing my running socks… local population, you’re welcome.

Day 17. 12 noon.
Sun too hot, high noon cowboy sunblind. More dogs would’ve been nice. Non-specific ankle adjacent twinge, but kept pace even if it felt slow.

5K every day.
Day 16. 8.30am.
Started with this banger in my ears, the sunrise over the common felt apropos. Pushed harder towards intervals, sliding my way to 25 minutes. More light, less rush-hour cars. Win/win.

5K every day.
Day 15. 7am.
New flatter route, higher pace. Really want to get it to 25 mins. Bored of early starts. Might run in the light tomorrow.

5K every day.
Day 14. 6.45am.
Another emo sky picture. There was a perfect “Dreamworks” moon. Slippy ground but not that cold.
Seen the same morning walker 3 days in a row. We waved.
(I did run yesterday but didn’t diarise.)

Day 12. 6.30am. Road to myself. Lovely and mild; tried to keep pace up, but had a fitful night’s sleep.

Day “Legs” 11, actually. 9am.
Back to pace. Quiet & damp. Pacesetter Rock pushed me on. Shoved some flytipped furniture to the pavement-side.

5K every day.
Day 10. 10am. “Ran” it with my 12 year old, slower but we did the distance. Frosty & slippy. Sunny skies, cold fingers.

5K every day.
Day 9. 8.15am. Legs felt better, 24 respite helps. Fridays still quieter for traffic. Sophie’s Kitchen Disco helped. Housewarming party tonight so tomorrow might be tough.

5K every day.
Day 8. 7.30am. Legs a bit more treacly today. Harder work. Getting hungrier early each day. Made it out before the weather bomb, er, bombed.

5K every day.
Day 7. Long shadows. Quiet streets. Warm enough to take my gloves off. Less motivated to get up & out but felt great after. Itchy legs.
January 7, 2026 at 8:32 PM
5K every day.
Day 6. Still a pre-dawn start. Hardest one to get going on yet. No photo. No foxes.
January 6, 2026 at 8:45 PM
5K every day.
Day 5. Creeping dawn. 2 foxes. Maybe the same one twice. Lots of cars, all different. Bin day trip hazards. Frost.
January 5, 2026 at 7:41 AM
5K every day.
Day 4. Moon one side, banging dawn on the other. No foxes. Mucho taxis. Ankle better but cold AF.

5K every day.
Day 3. First evening run, left when LOTR:TROTK’s first disc ended. Not so chilly. 1 fox. Emo moon photo.

5K every day.
Day 2. Technically dawn but felt late. Flatter route but ankle still twinging. Saw a friend out too. Dearth of cars = lovely.
January 2, 2026 at 9:00 AM
Running 5K every day in January.
So far, so good. Saw all the pickles. Gentle pace because ankle & Prosecco.

I’m surprised it got this far into December for me to think to rewatch this, let alone share…. Christmas is here!!

I was today years old and thought I’d heard all the Christmas songs, when this bad boy came on the radio…

My Spotify Unwrapped age was 6 years younger than my actual age. Just saying.

(And that’s with a fair amount of Bob Seger listened to this year…)

I’m going to a screening at Deaf Gathering Cardiff tomorrow, so practicing my BSL.

Turns out the sign for 'director' and 'god' are same sign. Figures. 😉
