Wasn’t really feeling it today. It had nothing to do with being the eighth day in a row that I had run; it was more a busy day at school followed by a whole school meeting. I seemed to have spent a lot of time sitting down today.

But it’s Juneathon, so I walked in the door put my bag down, got changed into my running kit and ran out the door.

The minimum 3.1 miles. No music. No camera to take pictures. No Strava badges.

Got out of school early so I could get in a lovely run in the afternoon sun.

6+ miles around the village listening to the Bard of Barking’s difficult third album, what could be better?

Nice gentle pace taking in the sights…

Just to keep the theme going, was ‘awarded’ another Strava badge.

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.

So it was the treadmill: 3.1 miles. Tick.

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!
