Janathon 2012 – Day 12: work, hamster run, and early sleep again. The working week is thankfully drawing to a close and I am finally getting used to the daily commute again. I went to university in Aberystwyth back in the day and being in a relatively small town with…
Janathon 2012 – Day 11
Janathon 2012 – Day 11: work, run, and sleep. A fairly innocuous day of Janathoning as the household continues to battle the jet lag monster. Once again The Son wakes everyone up early but I was mostly awake anyway and I am just better at staying in bed even if…
Janathon 2012 – Day 10
Janathon 2012 – Day 10: stupid o’clock, boring work, everyone asleep again, karate practice, and sleep. The household was up at 4am again thanks to The Son and his jet lag so we used the time for The Son to catchup on his homework and to get a few jobs…
Janathon 2012 – Day 9
Janathon 2012 – Day 9: the early bird, Infintite Universe Running Dan, back to work, back to the treadmill, and asleep before 8pm. Sometimes I like to ponder what is out there in the multiverse that we live in and I wonder whether there really is an infinite amount of…
Janathon 2012 – Week 1
I am now one week into Janathon and it’s been a mixed bag so far but I am enjoying myself and it has spurred me on to exercise during the times when I just don’t really feel like it. I was browsing away looking for general information to include in…
Janathon 2012 – Day 8
2012 – Day 8: slept, everyone else slept, I ran, and then went to bed (and slept). The whole jet lag thing is causing havoc with the Running Dan household as it is now guaranteed that someone will be asleep at any given point during the day. We are left…
Janathon 2012 – Day 7
Janathon 2012 – Day 7: sleep rotation, early bird shopping, karate changes, and The Son back to studying. The jet lag monster has landed on the Running Dan dwelling and has us all in a big old bear hug. We all seem to be on different time zones now and…
Janathon 2012 – Day 6
Janathon 2012 – Day 5: new mortgage required, strange looking people, seating shenanigans, and there’s no place like home. Our hotel near Narita airport appeared to be The Most Expensive Hotel In The World™ and would require the GDP of a small European country to pay for a full meal…
Janathon 2012 – Day 5
Janathon 2012 – Day 5: I heart soft porn, kite flying, beach building, sad goodbyes, and flying to Tokyo. Our final day in Ube and all bags packed and ready in the morning. I took the opportunity to read through the latest updates from Janathon bloggers and noticed that those…
Janathon 2012 – Day 4
Janathon 2012 – Day 4: Let it snow, more bathing, Hideo Hamamura, The Son shines on TV, and a final run in Japan. Our final full day in Ube and I woke to the sight of swirling snow. It was not enough to settle, nor rival any of the storms…
Janathon 2012 – Day 3
Janathon 2012 – Day 2: Sad quietness, relaxing baths, low hanging fruit, Japan TV > British TV, bowing whilst running, and a proper run banked at last. The house was suddenly very quiet this morning as visiting family departed and we remain as the only guests. Things seem mighty strange…
Janathon 2012 – Day 2
Janathon 2012 – Day 2: Jungle drums, restless natives, monkey business, lion taming… and a (sort of) run!. The household would wake early whether it wanted to or not thanks to The Son and his cousins beating the drum on the Wii playing Taiko no Tatsujin. I guess it was…
