86.92/71 walking miles. 21.84/100 running miles. 62.24 remaining.

After a couple of days rest I had planned to go to my usual steps class this evening but unfortunately I had a meeting at work which clashed so I couldn't go.  I was busy convincing myself that another rest day would be good for me and was planning on doing nothing!  Then at lunchtime I was checking my emails and I had a email about participating in Juneathon, which is basically the same concept as Janathon except its exercising everyday in June instead of January!  Anyway, I signed up for it and then felt motivated to actually do some exercise!  So once I finished work, I went home, quickly got changed into my running gear and hit the streets! My body was NOT impressed!  My legs were shouting "What do you think your doing, we ran/walked 40 miles for you and now we deserve a rest!",  My stomach was making some horrendous sloshing sounds (rather like I had a hot water bottle up my T shirt!) and my heart felt like it was trying to escape out my chest!  Luckily I had planned just a short run and managed to get home without any problems!  I ran 3.65 miles in 33 minutes. The run can be viewed here!.  I then had to have a quick shower and be back at work for my meeting, but I felt better for it!

I mentioned entering Juneathon earlier, and whereas I ran everyday in January during Janathon, my plan for Juneathon is to do both cycling and running on alternate days since I am training for both running events and cycling sportives!


I ran 158 miles during Janathon, so based on that total I am setting my Juneathon goals as being 80 running miles and 200 cycling miles.
