A late run tonight because by the time I got home from work I wanted food! So, after a rather lovely steak and chips, I ventured out for what was going to be a quick mile around the block. Although by the time I got going I decided to go for a 4ish miler (to stay on track to beat last Janathon's mileage). So I headed straight into town and out the other side until I had run 2 miles and then headed back. I very rarely run through town and tonight it struck me exactly how many takeaways there are. In the space of 300 yards I ran past the following takeaway joints:
- A Chinese
- A pizza
- Another pizza
- A Chippy
- Another Chinese
- An Indian
- Another Chinese
- As well as 5 pubs/restaurants serving food
This is without the 100s that are on different roads that I didn't run on tonight. For a small market town this does seem a bit extreme, although I am partial to a takeaway, especially on a Friday night, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.
Today's mileage = 4.13
Total Janathon mileage so far = 39.78

And they wonder why there is an obesity issue in this country, oh when I was a lass there was only a chippy!
Excellent 9 day effort thus far! If you think obesity is getting bad over there, well, you ain’t seen mainstream fatitude til you come here (USA). That said, what’s a “chippy?” I’m intrigued! 🙂
A fish and chip shop!
Oh, OH! I just Googled “chippy” definition & that can’t be what you meant? I mean, it is a “takeaway” of sorts, but… er… um… please clarify!
Glad hennie asked, as I was curious too!
