Juneathon Day 10 - Endurance Test

I think I must surely win the Juneaton Endurance Test!  What a busy, busy day!  I am forcing myself to stay awake so I can blog ....


This morning I ran a 10K race in Morecambe. The race started at 11am but I had to register at 10am. I was given my race number and timing chip that was to be strapped to my ankle.  After "People watching" I made my way to the start point which was on the Promenade opposite the registration point. Once I got on the promenade I realised that although it was nice weather, it was also very windy by the sea! Once the race got going the sun came out so it was both hot and windy AND the wind was blowing directly into my face!  One major complaint I would have with the organisers is that the only drinks station was at 2 miles and NOTHING further on!  By mile 5 I was gasping for a drink ... not very good at all especially on such a hot day! I survived (just) and managed to finish in 54 minutes 40 seconds although I am still waiting for the accurate chip time. Not a PB but was pleased  AND I GOT A MEDAL!!


Juneathon Day 10 Activity 1 Complete - 6.21 miles running!


I went home and had lunch then early afternoon I went to the gym with my husband.  We have just joined and he is planning a couch potato to beach god transformation in 6 weeks before our holidays!  I didn't want to discourage him and went along planning on "not doing very much!".  However, once in the gym I got second wind and ended up doing more than I wanted!

Once home the dog was sat looking at me with puppy dog eyes so I ended up taking him on a short trot around the block before settling down!

I have no energy left to do the Maths and work out my Juneathon totals so you will have to return tomorrow or do it yourself!!!


School Holidays are over and I'm back to work tomorrow so I'm heading to my pit in the hope that I feel a bit more human in the morning!


Over done it? More like INCINERATED!
