Juneathon Day 17

It was one of those busy days. The run was sandwiched between getting in from work and a Samaritans duty.

I didn’t fancy the country lanes; having to keep an ear and eye out for traffic. So instead I chose the quietest road that barely gets any traffic on it and ran up and down it a couple of times.

4.49 miles.

It was a lovely evening. Sun was out for the most part, before the clouds blew in for the last 10 minutes.

Also spotted a little frog just sat there. it wasn’t too bothered about me so I took a quick picture.

Juneathon Day 15

Popped up to see friends for Friday night drinks and a Saturday parkrun: Rutland Water.

It was a near perfect morning to smash out a fast 5km.

12 days running = 54.33 miles

2 days swimming = 1200 metres

1 day cycling = 10.26 miles

Juneathon Day 14

It was an early start today; I was on the treadmill just after 6am.

The reason for this ridiculous behaviour? Visiting friends later and just no other opportunity to do it. Dedicated.

3.1 miles listening to Grace Petrie’s latest album, ‘Build Something Better’.

Juneathon Totals:

11 days running = 51.22 miles

2 days swimming = 1200 metres

Juneathon Day 13

It was a swim after work today.

42 lengths of the pool. That sounds quite impressive. Until you realise the pool is quite an unusual size: 15.8m length. Total: 663 metres.

I feel as though I’m making some slight progress in terms of technique. Breathing felt a little easier. I didn’t drown.

Juneathon totals:

10 days running = 48.12 miles

2 days swimming = 1200 metres

1 day cycling = 10.26 miles

Juneathon Day 12

A loop of the village, just short of 5 miles, 4.81 miles to be precise. Incredibly, considering the on/off showers we’ve had all day, I managed to stay dry.

Lots of the fields are full of potatoes this year, definitely more than normal, not sure why that is.

Today’s listening entertainment was Bastille’s fantastic album ‘Doom Days’. Now I’m quite partial to a concept album. ‘A Grand Don’t Come for Free’ by The Streets is a particular favourite of mine. So I love ‘Doom Days’. Each song is set at a particular time on a party night. The opening track, ‘Quarter Past Midnight’ is a great opening track.

I also love the album cover
