Juneathon, DONE!

I don't like that this is my last blog for Juneathon. I'm already thinking about next year! Slightly sad that I didn't run the whole 30 days but I did manage 22, which I'm really proud of.

Today I swam, I noticed that I'm getting better. 10 minutes after work isn't easy as I was hot and achy. The back is improving every day, so as the Osteopath has told me to avoid the gym for a week. I'm going to take a few days rest! Actually I'll probably go swimming on Friday morning, as it's weigh day.

As I few Juneathoners have mentioned their weights, I will too! As I'm following Weight Watchers too, I should have lost something. I've lost nothing! Exactly the same weight as I started. Interesting and annoying. I think my eating what I like at the weekends is the reason.

I've been avoiding the total stats information, as I really don't like numbers and having to total create a decent set of understandable stats something I can do easily.

As I've done more then 1 activity on some days I just counted the running or the main activity.

Here are my 30 days of stats.

22 Days - Running

5 Days - Swimming

2 Days - Pilates

1 Day - Walking

TOTAL KM: 56.86 km

I'll miss reading everyone's blogs, but seeing as I've also learnt to use blogger and google reader I will still be able see what you're all up to.

Sunday Lunch in the Pub

It's my birthday tomorrow (sorry another mention), so I've organised a Sunday lunch at The Waterpoet. Only there is a certain World Cup game on too. England v Germany. I've had to change my booking to 1pm as the pub is not going to be serving food during the game.

I made Chris come with me to the leisure centre, so we could both go swimming. We've been meaning to go for a weekend swim for a long time.

I managed a full 20 minutes in a full sized pool , so I reckon I did well!

Anyway, have to get to the pub, so hopefully England will have a good result and ll will be right in the world (doubt it , but the football is taking over everything, this summer!

And I can I mentioned, I'm not jealous that I'm not at Glastonbury...

Running again, just!

Weigh in day and an attempt to run is today's agenda.

I wanted to try out Slim Jim's Gym (catchy name) today, as it the other gym I can use with my menbership. I'm lucky that all 3 gyms are within my work area and Liverpool Street station. It's a 'city' gym, which is open 24hours Monday to Friday and it's closed at weekends.

I wondered down to the changing rooms, which are massive and have hair and make-up stations. I was so impressed I took a picture!

I've now drunk 2 large glasses of rose, so my blog is gonna be a little squiffy!

I started running and after 10 minutes, my back really started to hurt. I carried on for the full 15 and I'm now starting to wish I had finished. My back really hurts. I'm can't sit at my desk for long and even with a few glasses of wine, it still hurts. I have a birthday weekend, so I'm not going to think about it and drink until it stops hurting! (not really, but it makes me sound hardcore)

Lazy Sunday

Today has been the most difficult morning to try and motivate myself to think of an activity. Last night we had a lovely evening with friends, which involved drinking and eating. The perfect evening!

It got to 5pm and I knew I had to get my kit on and head to the park. Originally, we decided to take the bikes to the Greenway and have a look at the Olympic site's progress. We were being lazy and neither one of us mentioned a time. Chris had to repair the brakes on his so once he did that I decided I'd rather go running. I'm not a confident cyclist and I wasn't feeling very happy about taking the bike out. By the end of Juneathon I will try to cycle somewhere, even if it is to Morrisions.

I had my Audio Fuel on and Chris cycled to the park with me, to make sure I didn't get lost on the way. He needed to test the brakes out too. We looked the map of the park and there was a 2km running path already measure out and Chris cycled in front of me, so I could follow him use the right path. He handed me his phone, so I could GPS the time and route. I'm so glad I made the decision to run in the evening. It was still warm and I wasn't enjoying running outside.

Yesterday I thought the heat was the reason I wasn't able to run much, but I think I my lack of running outside is the real reason. I'm determined to get better, so I'm going to try running in the park at the weekends. Here is my google map of the route in the park.

I'm going to try to aim and do a parkrun in Finsbury Park one weekend, so I have a little target to work towards.
