Today's run was a rather pathetic attempt. But I do plan to do go for a long one tomorrow.
Really can't be bothered to say anything else.

Lost and found dog. #juneathon day 17
Tonight's quick short run to fit in with the World Cup was anything but.
After watching the 5pm game I quickly headed to the woods with the dog for a brisk 2 mile run so that I was back and showered for the Brazil game. After about a mile I lost the dog. He was nowhere to be seen.
This is not the first time this as happened. He normally shows up within a few minutes, often distracted by another dog, or a squirrel, or he is off chasing a deer. So what normally happens is I turn round, jog back the way we came and we generally meet up again. This didn't happen today. I jogged back. No sign of the bloody mutt. I jogged up to the ponds; he likes taking a dip and is often found there. No sign of the sodding dog. So I headed back to the entrance of the woods, we go there all the time, he should know this is where we start and finish. No sign of the pesky dog. So I did another quick lap in the hope of meeting him somewhere else. No such luck.
It wasn't till I got back to the entrance again that I found him. He had been rescued by a fella who said he looked lost. I thanked the bloke and gave the dog a good talking too.
So I ended up running over 5 miles and was out for far longer than I had planned. Therefore, I missed the start of the Brazil game. The dog is in the proverbial dog house.
Day 17 mileage = 5.43
Total Juneathon mileage = 80.42
#juneathon day 16
Tonight's run was wedged between World Cup games: Germany vs Portugal and Iran vs Nigeria. A 3 mile run at the woods with the dog. Pretty uneventful run except for a dog that followed us whilst his owner shouted “Poppy” at the top of his voice, only for Poppy to ignore him. After a while I decided to turn round and let Poppy's owner get hold of her. Which he did, accompanied by various groans and grumbles at poor Poppy.
Day 16 mileage = 3.05
Total Juneathon mileage = 74.99
I thought I had discovered the player with the longest name at the World Cup: Iran and Charlton star, Ghoochannejhad. However, a quick glance through the World Cup bible, Panini's FIFA World Cup 2014 sticker album, I soon spotted Greece's own Papastathopoulos. Very much looking forward to the Greece vs Iran game (they should meet in the final) and seeing if the BBC can fit the lineups onto one screen.
But one thing leads to another…..a quick google of 'longest surname in the world' and I came across a German fella named Adolph. His surname is 590 letters long, although he generally only uses the first 35 letters, Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, in most paperwork.
