I’m back!

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 5 Comments

It has been 102 days since my last blog; that was to celebrate the completion of Juneathon.

It is another running event that has forced me back in the blogosphere.

Survival of the Fittest in Nottingham is a 10k obstacle course that runs through the heart of the city, including a dunking in the river, lots of mud, plenty of climbing and even a 'tour' of the Forest football ground.

After umming and ahhing for a couple of months I finally got round to signing up. So tomorrow I will be heading to Nottingham to join the 1000s attempting to complete the course.

Keep an eye out for me: Wave 10, 12.15pm start.

Bring it on!

 

#juneathon is complete!

Done. Finished. Ended. Accomplished. Fulfilled.

Today was the thirtieth, and last, run of Juneathon. It has been a long month, but I have managed to run every single day. Furthermore, considering the World Cup has also been on, I'm pretty pleased with the overall mileage.

Today's mileage = 5.86

Total Juneathon mileage = 130.02

Time for the next challenge me thinks.

 

#juneathon day 29

I don't know if it is the fact that today is the penultimate day of Juneathon, but I found the run tonight very hard work. It was always going to be a short run as the weekend has been very busy; travelling here there and everywhere. The 3 miles I ran felt like 33 miles: my legs were aching; my breathing was a mess; and my head was all over the place. I think I just had it in my mind that the month is nearly finished so it made the run seem harder than it actually was.

Today's mileage 3.04

Total Juneathon mileage = 124.16

 

#juneathon day 26….plus a bit of stating the obvious…

Today was day 26 of Juneathon. That just leaves day 27, 28, 29 & 30.

So four more runs and I get a rest day, in fact I may actually treat myself to more than just the one rest day.

Tonight's run was crowbarred in between a late day at school attending transition evening and the Belgium game. This year's Juneathon has been extra difficult to complete because of the World Cup, but somehow I've managed to run every day and completed some of the most tedious and boring blogs ever written.

Today's mileage = 5.02

Total Juneathon mileage = 114.27
