Oh dear, I signed up to Juneathon with all good intentions to run and exercise everyday in June. Trouble is I have been suffering from mild shin splints and my regular running/fitness routine had gone out of the window. So here's my five excuses for not keeping up with the Juneathon action plan.
1) I was out of routine
2) My regular running buddies have been away or busy
3) I have been busy with work
4) The kids have been ill
5) I've been out socialising - not good for early morning runs
But...... I have upped my yoga routine - 2-3 times a week, and ran whenever I can when we have been away in the campervan. I did a great circular run on The Gower a couple of weeks ago, some Fartlek training in the local park and today I did a fab 10k run on Black Down (Beacon Batch - the highest point in the Mendips). Despite having a bit of a sore heal, I had a great run. It was all off-road - just how I like it, and with plenty of hilly. But it was worth it. Amazing views across to South Wales and lots of fun running DOWN the hills. A good day. So though June wasn't my best month for running, I have finished the month on a high and hope to continue through July. So thanks Juneathon for keeping me motivated through June.

Hello Sharon,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the comment on my post! It's lovely to know that people are actually reading (and enjoying) my blog.
I unfortunately failed miserably at Juenathon, but feel that I'm now back on track after this week's 10km, and really looking forward to July's training, and my half marathon on 24th. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't manage the daily run through June though.
I'll definitely keep up with your blog too now I've found it. Good luck with the training and your forthcoming Race for Life x
Many thanks Naomi and best of luck with the half marathon. I'd like to do a half marathon but prefer to run off road so need to do some research.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog glad you stopped byt. Of course had to pop in and ee yours seeing as we share the same first name. Good luck with the Race for life I will do mine on 17 July
