Just in the nick of time….

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 4 Comments

'Just in the nick of time' – The idea being that a nick was a small cut or notch, or in other words a narrow and precise marker, so that if something was in the nick it was precisely where it should be. This was then later elaborated to include of time for the expression of more ideas. Nowadays the phrase means something that happened just in time, at the last possible moment.

Day 13 of Juneathon and day 2 of the World Cup. I managed to run after the first game and got back 'just in the nick of time' to watch the second game. The shortest run of Juneathon so far.

Day 13 mileage = 2.41

Total Juneathon mileage = 56.80

 

#juneathon vs World Cup

When I signed up for Juneathon the World Cup seemed a million miles away. Now it's here. I think this is going to be the biggest obstacle in completing Juneathon.

There was only the one game tonight so I was able to get out for run as soon as I got in from work. I'm not sure how easy this will be in the coming weeks when you get various games throughout the evening.

It was just under 4 miles around the local fields; it was also really hot. So shower, dinner and I've pretty much managed to be ready for the opening game – although the planning for tomorrow's lessons has gone out the window!

Anthems playing…..gotta go!

Day 12 mileage = 3.70

Total Juneathon mileage = 54.39
