Janathon Day 10 – Surrounded by glamorous young things!

The last thing that crosses my mind when I go to the gym is how I look. Actually that is not entirely true. I like to wear stuff that doesn’t show sweat marks, and I prefer it if my gym gear which is usually black is not covered in dog hair or slobber (and even the slightest encounter with the bassets can leave you covered in both). But other than that, glamour is not high on the agenda.
So tonight I dropped S off at Brownies and popped off to the gym for my Janathon run. I didn’t want to go mad, having acheived a personal Janathon record yesterday I’d decided to do a recovery run today. (I read that term on the Janathon wall and think its fab because it sounds like I’m a proper runner and not a plastic plodder like I really am!)
Anyway – after a surprisingly enjoyable 3.5km in a fairly respectable 24 ish minutes I was dog hair and slobber free, but an interesting shade of cerise/magenta and my hair was a wet/frizzy combo and stuck to my face. I was about as far from glamorous as it is possible to get. So when I was stretching and looking around I noticed a number of women in full makeup (essex orange of course) and I mean false eyelashes the lot, hair done, and I wondered why you would do that? Why would you apply a full face of slap and do your hair just to go to they gym… and how on earth do they still look like that after they have trained?
I have no answers… I just didn’t have anything else to blog about and wanted to share.
