My phone was broken; it wouldn’t charge. The solution: a cocktail stick.
After doing a bit of poking around in the charging socket, removing all the fluff and doing a lot of blowing. It was sorted.
Just for general wonderings…
Day 30. The last, and hottest, day of Juneathon. A 3-miler on the trails in the 5 o’clock sunshine. It was hot. Very hot. Did I suffer? Yes I suffered. Today was all about the blue and the green.

However, I will be the first to admit the blog posts – despite posting one every day – have been pretty poor. For a couple of reasons:
Firstly, because I’ve not been doing the mileage I would normally do, the runs have not been that interesting.
Secondly, I seem to be so busy at school that I’ve struggled to find the time and inclination to make them amazing.
So I think it’s probably best to just forget about the whole Juneathon thing and look ahead to Janathon!
Cushty.
Juneathon Day 29
We reach what is the penultimate day of Juneathon and this is the first run that actually felt like a Juneathon run. Rushed home from work, collected the dog and we hit the trails. It was hot and sweaty. In the past I have always remembered Juneathon as being exactly like this – lots of runs in the sun. However, this is the first of its kind this year.
The plan was to do about 5 miles at a reasonable pace – I'm starting to test Jeff* a bit more – it went well, a bit achy, but overall a success. Although, the dog probably disagreed with me – he struggled. I think the days of him joining me on my runs has well and truly gone. I understand it was pretty warm this evening but that was no excuse for the pace he was going. I had to wait for him on numerous occasions. And when I told him to get a move on, did he listen? Did he hell! If anything he started going slower.
Anyway, when we returned home I gave him a good talking to. This resulted in him sitting in the corner of the garden with the hump and ignoring me all night.

* If you don't understand what this means then you are lucky enough not to find yourself reading the nonsense that is contained on this blog too often – I will not put you through the pain of an explanation.
Juneathon Day 28
A slow start to the morning, mostly because of the drinking yesterday afternoon. But by the time the afternoon came around I was ready for a run in the sun: 3 miles. It was a muggy afternoon; rumour has it we are in for a bit of a heatwave over the next week. Lovely jubbly.
I received this nice little bundle from Flying Vinyl yesterday….
So spent most of the rest of the day giving them a spin….

Today was one of those days that are just full up with stuff.
Firstly, #Juneathon day 27 was a Parkrun. Peterborough Parkrun. But more importantly, Helen's first ever Parkrun. It was a lovely morning, the sun was shining, in fact it was a very warm 5k. Good start to the day.
That was followed by a trip to buy some plants for the garden. Which was inevitably followed by actually planting the plants. That done it was BBQ time…

It was a really enjoyable afternoon/evening, plenty of food and beer. Although the majority of it was spent deciding whether or not we would actually continue with the planned holiday to Tunisia! I'm sure there will be more to come on the subject in the coming weeks!
After school today we had a staff rounders match. It had been arranged so that we could say our goodbyes to our business-finance-bursar-timetable-manager-thingy-person. She will be sadly missed…
The rounders match was very exciting. Rounders were being scored in every direction, partly because there was a distinct lack of throwing and catching ability.
However, the match was eventually abandoned due to health and safety issues. A spot of rain led to slippery bats, which in turn led to a nasty ‘bat flying through the air’ incident causing injury.
