Day 17 Beyond Half Way

At this half way point it might be good to summarise the benefits (and otherwise) of this bout of exercise in Janathon.

Benefits

• Less backache in the lumbar region. A bonus I had not expected and wonder if it is because I have worked the upper back so it takes more of the strain?
• Improved posture. Connected with the above maybe?
• Improved memory and mental acuity. Difficult to measure as it is only a perception.
• Generally feeling more energetic.
• Sleeping better
• Finding out just how lazy I am.
• Finding out just how clever I am (at excuses).
• Realising that I don't stick to plans and constantly shift them.
• Realising how difficult it can be to combine modern life with exercise.
• Realising that I CAN run if I can be bothered.
• Finding that exercise (even running) CAN be enjoyable.

Non-Benefits

• Sleeping too long and therefore missing an exercise class today!

So today I swam non-stop for 30 minutes instead of going to Senior Circuit.
