Done! #juneathon 

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 4 Comments

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.

 It’s not been the greatest Juneathon – dodgy calf – but I have managed something every day, which is actually what Juneathon is about. So, I guess I can say it was a success. 

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.

Think he’s got the hump! #juneathon #project365

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.
