Juneathon Day 17

A gentle 30 min jog round the woods on a very muggy evening. But importantly, I seemed to have survived it without any aches and twinges. I think I might try a 'proper' run at the weekend.

Juneathon totals after day 17:

  • 0.46 miles mowing the grass
  • 14.2 miles run
  • 21.5 miles cross-training
  • 171 press-ups
  • 10,000m row
  • 12min 15sec in planks
  • 16 pointless extra walks between classroom and reception

In other news….

Project365 continues trundling along; today we reach day 168. After a couple of days planning for the new academic year, sorting groups, and generally dishing out various jobs…we're happy…

 

#juneathon Day 16

All rather boring today I'm afraid; I was at the gym again. However, I did risk the poorly calf by running there and back.

3 miles on the cross-trainer followed by a rather brisk 2000m row. Sorted.

Photos? Nope. Totals? Nope. I've got to get back to marking – if these essays aren't marked for the morning my Y10s may actually riot.

Not sure if it counts… #juneathon #project365

It was a long busy day at school, I stayed late doing a bit of planning and the last thing I felt like doing when I got home was a run. It wasn't until I left the building that I realised it was a lovely evening and also how few cars were left in the car park when I left. Cue photo of the day…

On the drive home I had pretty much decided that today's Juneathon effort would be going for a burton. Then I began to feel guilty, Juneathon has the knack of doing that to you. I didn't want to entirely miss out on a Juneathon activity. I did contemplate a trip to the gym but really couldn't be bothered to leave the house. The answer: mowing the grass.

I took it very seriously: route tracked. Juneathon Day 15. Done.

Today's mileage: 0.46

Blog post title would seem a tad #hashtag heavy…..

Juneathon Day 14

Sunday morning, as some would say, the home of the long run. Although, in my case, less the 'home' of the long run and more the homeless hostel. To clarify….I did not go for a long run.

Very gentle 25min jog. I'm definitely getting the feeling that the calf is getting slightly better, it no longer hurts when running, although I can feel it. Yes, I know, I suppose I should really go and see someone about it. The plan is to carry on doing exercise that doesn't aggravate for the next week, then have a go doing a 'proper' run next weekend. If I've still got an issue with it after that, I'll go see someone. Deal.

Juneathon totals after day 14:

12.4 miles run

18.55 miles cross-training

171 press-ups

485 sec planks

8000m row

10 pointless extra walks between classroom and reception

As for today's picture, well to be totally honest, it could well be picture of the year.

That friends, is a bacon roll with a side order of a bacon and egg roll. With Tomato sauce. To quote George Bernhard Shaw, who knew a thing or two about writing AND food…
