Juneathon – Day 23 – Running Au Naturale

Another glorious if slightly warm day for running. Blue skies, light breeze. No need for mp3 players down here, just wonderful to enjoy the sounds of birdsong as nature intended. Not really practical to carry a camera round with me, but might just have to make an exception sometime soon. The views from the top of Stonebarrow were just stunning. The sea was mirror calm, you could see the yachts perfectly reflected in the water of the bay.

Run went ok, slower start, quicker finish. 5.89km,  36m 47s,  average 6m 14s per km. Just the one hill today.

Will do a two hill run on Saturday, one hill on Tuesday, then it’s the 2010 Charmouth Challenge on the following Saturday.

Will probably undo this morning’s hard work by spending the afternoon in the pub watching the England game. If I make it back home, then as it’s also USA today so we’ve got burgers for tea.

Juneathon – Day 22 – Warming up nicely

Both the World Cup and the weather appear to be warming up nicely. Not so sure about my running form, but from now on am determined to foster a positive mental attitude when I’m slogging bounding up these yer hills. Will be out for a short one hill run in the morning.

Today managed 64 sit-ups and 16 push-ups.

South Africa went out of the World Cup today with a win, so to celebrate tonight’s it’s Bobotie for tea.

Juneathon – Day 10 – Point of no return

I’ve been talking about it for a long time, and it’s the main focus of my blog, but I finally put my entry in for the Charmouth Challenge this morning. So that’s it, no backing out now that I’ve paid my money! I’m probably not the only Charmouth resident in the race, but I bet I live the closest. The race will start outside the school and come past our place 75 yards later.  Read about the race by following the link over there ====>

So, back to today.  64 sit-ups,  32 push-ups (2 x my normal set).

One banana, no biscuits or crisps. Juneathon is going well, so I might celebrate tomorrow with a jam sandwich and a packet of crisps for lunch. And no fruit.

World Cup starts tomorrow (like you hadn’t noticed), so we’ll be trying to eat according to who’s playing. Tomorrow it’s Mexico, so it’s burritos for tea.

Buenos noches and déjelo para usted.
