Juneathon: Day 5

Didn't get out for a run until evening again today, mainly because mother-in-law was coming round for tea and therefore I obviously had to spend the entire day cleaning the house and cooking the tea. Although all this additional housework may well have qualified as extra exercise, I thought it probably sadly wouldn't count as Juneathon, so hauled myself out of the house for a short run. Definitely a short one tonight as I did 6 miles last night and am planning a 10-miler tomorrow, and the last time I attempted a 10-miler I felt awful the entire way and only finished up doing 9 and a bit and even then had to stop a couple of times during it, so this time I don't want to knacker myself too much beforehand.

Ran up two hills very slowly and then slightly but not much faster on some flat and downhill bits, once round the small park, up the short but evil incline at the end of the park, and along the road back home. Uneventful. Smiled at man walking towards me along the narrow pavement on the way home but he pretended not to have seen me. Even though I was running towards him along a narrow pavement.

Distance: 1.8 miles
Time: 18:45
Splits: 10:41, 8:04
Average pace: 10:25

Total Juneathon distance so far: 17.35 miles
Total Juneathon running time so far: 2:51:26

  1. Cleaning for an in-law's visit would've counted if you had a Garmin on and could track the frantic nature of it! Was it clean enough or was dust found on the back of the top recess behind the highest kitchen unit pelmet, causing huffing and mentions of not being able to trust the cutlery, either?!

  2. I'll switch my Garmin on next time! Dust would definitely have been found in such places had anyone looked... surface cleanness just about passed muster, I think. Phew.
