Only 8 days left. That sounds good.

Today’s run was in two parts.

Part one with Amy: a lap of Bourne woods. Nice chatty 3 miles.

Part two was solo: another lap of Bourne Woods. Only this time I ran it faster.

Also bagged myself another Strava badge:

The Haven by Simon Lelic

This is another book aimed at teenagers. In the same sort of mould as Stormbreaker, Hunger Games, that sort of thing.

This is the first in a series of books all about modern street kids living in London in a secret location. It is all about the kids protecting each other, championing justice, and generally stopping adults doing bad things.

An exciting read for any 11 or 12-year-old; fast-paced, full of action and the odd twist to keep everyone on their toes.

Next up: Fifty Fifty

Monday is normally a run, but due to a parents’ evening on Thursday, we’ve shifted gym to Monday and Wednesday this week.

Tonight’s session was a 40/25: 40 seconds of work followed by 25 seconds of rest. Six exercises: 6 reps.

• Bike
• Sit-ups
• Weight from floor to above head – alternating between arms – can’t remember the actual name of it
• Cross-trainer
• Dumbbell row – don’t think it’s called that either
• Squat thruster – that doesn’t sound right either

I don’t think I will quite make it as a personal trainer.

4 mile run done.

The third was THIS…

Nice.

It was another early morning run – the second of the week – and following on from yesterday’s after work gym session it didn’t feel great when the alarm screamed at me to get up 5.40am.

It took me a mile or so to persuade the body that we were actually going to run 5km; the legs felt a bit heavy and the ankles felt particularly stiff.

But the run was done: Juneathon day 18 done and dusted. Time now to concentrate on the mighty Eng-er-land. Apparently, rumour has it, football’s coming home.
