Somehow I managed to miss my invite to the Juneathon challenge, neither XFR Bear, Jogblog or Jogger blogger saw fit to let me know of the great event before it was too late and I was too pissed to join in.
On the 1st, I managed an unexpected sprint home from the pub, as my weekend guest seemed to think her visitor status gave her the automatic right to use the bathroom first – wrong! Yesterday was a bit slack on the running front, I think I may have broken into a little jog down the steps of the Millenium bridge, and I thought about chasing the little sh**s tearing round the cinema at the end of Spiderman 3 – does that count?
Today however, Rach dragged me out of bed at 8.30 and started to hum the theme tune to Rocky – the running was back on. I found myself melting in the middle of Richmond Park with a support team of two, yelling me on to greater and greater distances. Shame Rach lives in Nottingham, I’d definately recruit her as a regular personal trainer.
Here are my two motivators enjoying the view at the midpoint of the run.
Not much time allowed for photo snapping before the whip was cracked again and we went back into the park for a smartish run in search of sizzling sausages. Found these pretty foxgloves first though, and my heart was racing so much by this point that I was tempted to have a little nibble.

I only found out about it a few days ago – only foudn this network of people a few days back after I met JogBlog at the RW social – assumed you had been around longer and kenw about it
Joggerblogger was in charge of sending out the invites, it’s his fault. Still, it’s not too late to join in, you can’t get out of it that easily
Haha, race to the bathroom, I totally know what that’s like!
Weekend guests will use the bucket out back and be thankful for it, dammit!
sounds like you’ve qualified anyway !
Don’t go reducing the entry requirements now, I’m quite happy sitting here on my sofa, admiring the nutters who have agreed to run everyday for a month. Cripes.
The foxglove is very pretty. I’ve never seen it before. Reminds me of the wildflowers we get over here in the spring. Next spring I promise to take a photo.
Hey, it definitely counts as a run when you chase snotty nosed brats around a cinema.
The pictures look good!
You actually ran a lot quicker than I had realised. Esp when you came zooming past me as I was cycling downhill!! And it was like 35 degrees in the shade. It was a really good bike ride/run. I didn’t do too bad to say I have been on a bike for about 10 years. Mind, my bum is still sore today. I’m really unfit.
Hey WW, I wouldn’t think of it as an exemption .. I’d think of it as having to run every day until xth July … the sooner you get started the smaller x is!
Have fun.
