Jog Blog 24

Well, it's been a while since I updated this.
Been out for a run this morning for the first time in, ooh, about a month. I have been busy though - I'm now a married man, and I've been away on holiday / honeymoon too. So with all the festivities and fun the fitness side of the things has been slipping slightly.
Well, HAD been slipping slightly. Remedied that yesterday and this morning. Yesterday I put up my new pull-up bar outside so I'm looking forward to increasing the numbers of both pull-up and chin-ups I can achieve in the next few months. I was quite pleased with initial efforts, mind you: managed two wide grip pronated pull-ups, followed by five close grip supinated ones. Need to think of targets, and set up a plan!
The run this morning was pretty taxing, given the lack of work over the past few weeks. As much an exercise in mental strength as physical, and as it was completely dark I had to stay on the well lit roads rather than my preferred routes through tiny lanes and footpaths. Still, managed 2.6 miles in twenty minutes, although my knee hurts a bit now. Ah, I'm sure it'll be fine.
