Non-stop… #juneathon #project365

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ Leave a comment

Today was one of those days that are just full up with stuff.

Firstly, #Juneathon day 27 was a Parkrun. Peterborough Parkrun. But more importantly, Helen's first ever Parkrun. It was a lovely morning, the sun was shining, in fact it was a very warm 5k. Good start to the day.

That was followed by a trip to buy some plants for the garden. Which was inevitably followed by actually planting the plants. That done it was BBQ time…

It was a really enjoyable afternoon/evening, plenty of food and beer. Although the majority of it was spent deciding whether or not we would actually continue with the planned holiday to Tunisia! I'm sure there will be more to come on the subject in the coming weeks!

 

Today I learnt something…. #janathon

Janathon Day 15

Today's run was done around Sleaford – we were invited to the sister-in-law's for something to eat – needs must and all that.

Whilst dinner was cooking I set off into a very cold and windy night. The plan was to do about 2 miles out and then turn round and head back. It was especially hardwork on the way back – running into the wind. I also had the amazing idea to complete a loop of the park as I passed it. With hindsight this was not an amazing idea.

I have never run round this particular park before, it was also dark. Very dark. The idea was to run around the edge – what could possibly go wrong? Well nothing, if you already knew that there was a big ditch running across it. I didn't know this. Suffice to say I ended up in said ditch – I'm just thankful it wasn't full of water and all I had to do was face the brambles to escape.

You can see in the above route of run exactly where the ditch was.

Note to self: do not run in the dark when you don't know where you are.

Today's mileage = 4.09

Total Janathon mileage = 65

Juneathon Day 8

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ Leave a comment

A busy day today saw the first real threat to Juneathon. To begin the day we had a long drive up north to return the dog we’ve been looking after. Followed by a visit to, Kath, the sister-in-law for some dinner. She served up a Spaghetti Bolognese that wouldn’t have been out of place in a Michelin Star restaurant.

Whilst there we watched the first game of Euro 2012. Nephew Jason was also at home, attempting to complete his History homework. However, I’m slightly concerned that it won’t be his best piece of work due to the fact that he was watching the footy and tweeting.

This all meant a late run, the first of the month, I’d rather not run in the evening, but needs must. Just a short run around town was the plan. It was incredibly windy tonight, like a scene from The Wizard of Oz.

Although I did manage to avoid the flying cows. Tonight’s run was 3.43 miles. A pretty uneventful run, but then again I didn’t have my contacts in, plus it was dark, so pretty much anything could have happened and I wouldn’t have noticed.

Total Juneathon mileage after day 8 = 31.38

Interestings things seen = 0
