Just for general wonderings…
After the shenanigans of the last term, this halfterm I had decided that it was to be full up with stuff. And it was. I had homework to complete.
Plenty of parkrunning and long runs, Samaritans, gigs, meals out, reading, allotment action and general merry making was had.
I’m feeling ready for a very important term back at school.
Today’s picture: about half-way through an 11mile run along the canal in Leicester.
Rutland Water – nice gentle 10 miles.
Today's photo is Stamford Station. Amz came to visit and I was dropping her off to get her train back
Janathon Day 8
After yesterday's exercise, which took the form of running up and down the stairs, I was determined to get a run in. Although the world did it's best to conspire against me.
Firstly, my 20 min journey home from work took 50 min due to ANOTHER car accident on the SAME road as yesterday. So I did a lot of looking at this….
Secondly, on arrival at home Amy and J-Dawg had just started watching 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' so I joined them. So that was a couple of hours wasted. Although I declined the offer of joining them to eat popcorn out of the dog's bowl – apparently it was 'clean'.
Thirdly, when I finally managed to drag my arse of the sofa and change into my running kit I realised it was raining out. But by then it was too late – so I went for it. iPhone was on, RunKeeper was going, except no music was playing. Cue a stop in the rain to restart app whilst trying to avoid it getting soaking wet. Not the best of starts.
If that wasn't enough, 400 yards into the run and a car drove through a massive puddle and splashed me – full in the face.
The rest of the run was pretty uneventful pounding the rather boring streets of Bourne….
Job done. Sorted. Cushty. And relax.
Total Janathon mileage after day 8 = 29.11 (plus of course up and down 50 flights of stairs)
36.67% of Juneathon is now complete. Tonight, rather predictably, was ANOTHER run round the woods with the dog….yes I understand that it's getting slightly boring. Note to self: vary the run more.
Although, I have now smashed through the 50 mile barrier for the month. Tonight was 5ish miles including a brief stop off at the ponds so the boy could take a dip to cool off….
Tonight's run followed Amy's End of Year Show at College. This show gives the students a chance to create an exhibition of their work for people to admire. Amy has now come to the end of her A Levels in both Photography and Graphics. In graphics she had created a brand of cupcakes called 'Clare Rose' including advertising, packaging, menus, etc. The final outcome looked great printed up and mounted….
In Photography she has been using the word 'identity' as her stimulus for some great pictures, including using me as some sort of homeless guitar playing fella….
Well done Amz….you got there in the end!
Today's mileage = 5.43
Total Juneathon mileage = 55.07
