Parents’ evening.

This does cause some issues if you are trying to be more active every day. What is the likely hood of staying at school until 8pm and then going out for a run once home? Zero.

That is why, incredibly, I was up and out the door at 6am this morning! Early morning runs are not really my cup of tea, but needs must and all that…

Smashed it.

Happy Days! #juneathon #project365

Juneathon Day 17

A gentle 30 min jog round the woods on a very muggy evening. But importantly, I seemed to have survived it without any aches and twinges. I think I might try a 'proper' run at the weekend.

Juneathon totals after day 17:

  • 0.46 miles mowing the grass
  • 14.2 miles run
  • 21.5 miles cross-training
  • 171 press-ups
  • 10,000m row
  • 12min 15sec in planks
  • 16 pointless extra walks between classroom and reception

In other news….

Project365 continues trundling along; today we reach day 168. After a couple of days planning for the new academic year, sorting groups, and generally dishing out various jobs…we're happy…

It has been mental at school. Do this. Do that. Everyone seems to be feeling the pressure at the moment. So at the end of a full days teaching followed by a bit of bus duty I returned to my classroom to contemplate what of the 100s of jobs I can cross off my to do list. Shall I plan for tomorrow? Shall I look at data? Shall I mark my year 7 books? My head was spinning with 'stuff' – so in an attempt to help settle my thinking I completed a very important job, that wasn't even on the to do list, I tidied my desk….

It just had to be today's picture…it doesn't happen that often.

 

Busy. Busy. Busy.

Janathon Day 29

Thursday: always a busy day. However, they are doubly busy when a full day of teaching is followed by parents' evening. Then throw Janathon into the mix and you have a very busy day.

It was a bitterly cold night when I finally trudged out of school, and after a bit of a snow shower this afternoon I was faced with the prospect of scraping the car of ice to get home.

Therefore, although you've probably guessed already, it was a trip to the gym for tonight's run. It was a quick 4-miler on the treadmill – quick because I wanted to get home for food. The past couple of nights at the gym has shown me one thing – legs are feeling strong at the moment – must try and get a couple of races sorted – don't want to waste the mileage.

Today's mileage = 4.13

Total Janathon mileage = 119.06

Enough said.
