First day back after half-term, followed by an evening shift at the Samaritans meant it was one of those days where it just needed to get done.

The forecast was for a lot of rain today. So last night I had pretty much already planned on a treadmill run to tick off day five.

It was raining when I woke up so was on the treadmill before 8am.

4 miles. Boom.

Followed by Marmite on toast. It doesn’t get much better: run done and Marmite eaten.

But wait, also bagged me another Strava badge!!

Four days in already. The first Saturday of Juneathon – Parkrun day – but not today.

It was an early run around the village, a bit blowy, but done and dusted nice and early.

This morning I was accompanied by Romesh Ranganathan and his podcast: For the Love of Hip Hop.

I don’t mind a bit of the old hip hops – been getting into it more recently. So after the run a got some Run DMC spinning.

It was 3.5 miles in total, I even managed to bag a couple more badges from Strava – I love pressing the ‘join challenge’ button!

Stats:

Day 1. 3.1 miles

Day 2 of Juneathon coincides with the beginning of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. So the day started with trying to remember past jubilees.

The best I could do was a vague memory of the silver jubilee in 1977 at Bermondsey, on and around Albion Street and Rotherhithe Library. This included the memory of a Tommy Steele statue, ‘The Bermondsey Boy’ – stolen in 1998, its whereabouts are still unknown.

The actual run was a lovely late morning run including a run around the River Centre.

Bagged a couple of Strava badges.

The afternoon was spent in a garden celebrating Queenie. Nice.

The stats:

Day 1. 3.1 miles.

Day 2. 3.8 miles.

Juneathon Total = 6.9 miles

It’s June. Which can mean only one thing: Juneathon. The annual run (or do some kind of exercise) every day, and then blog about it.

This year the plan is to run at least 5km every day, none of this cycling, gym sessions, or long walks. I’m hardcore.

So today…

An afternoon 5km loop around the village. After all the rain throughout the day it ended up as a lovely afternoon in the sun.

Also, Garmin awarded me with a badge. Apparently it’s Global Running Day! Boom!

The Stats:

Day 1 – 3.1 miles
