Yes I know it's hard to believe but it's true!
Juneathon day 4 was especially boring, content wise, consisting only of a short run to work, 12 hours sitting at work doing not a great deal, cycling back to Harwell, fetching Number 1 from Beavers then going home, trying to get the boys to bed, eating food then going to bed myself.
So why the chuff has it taken so long to write a blog post about nothing of import?
It's BECAUSE nothing happened that's why. It's easy to write stuff about stuff that has happened and not so easy to write stuff about not a lot of stuff that has happened.
To the run!
The usual bimble into work I'm afraid, legs felt a bit tight but that's not surprising, the good thing is I have plenty of time for them to get better before the next run, which is very welcome.
Juneathon Day 4 run and stats.
Day 5 is the return trip home from work again. Will up the mileage a smidge on Sat morning, just to vary the maps a touch.

Spider legs!
It's weird the things that stick in your mind isn't it? I mean, it's never the important stuff like birthdays and anniversaries *ahem* and such like. It's most usually the randomly stupid stuff that actually doesn't matter in the slightest. Example -
Whilst in the gym, I was doing reps of bicep curls in front of the massive mirror on the wall. This wasn't for the sake of vanity (well, not completely anyway) but simply because that is where the dumbell rack is, when I noticed something a bit, well not nice looking. It was my armpit hair sticking out!
"This is not so bad Walker, why the fuss?" I hear some of you think. Well, no, it's not so bad, but it still made me cringe a bit. I don't have especially dark hair and I don't particularly have lots of it, which for some reason (for me anyway) makes it a damned sight worse seeing the wee beasties making a bid for freedom in public.
I have therefore decided that the only course of action to be taken is get the clippers out and trim they little blighters right down.
Ooh, nearly forgot, Juneathon!!!!
Ooh ooh ooh, MY GARMIN ARRIVED WOOOOO!!!
I am especially excited as a Garmin was the whole reason I started 'athoning and blogging in the first place.
I will review it at a later date as I will need to clock some extra miles through first in all types of weather over different terrain and stuff, so in the mean time I shall supply the link to the Garmin Connect page for yesterdays run. Juneathon Day 3 with added statistical geekery.
Hurrah, it worked!
There you go then, what an exciting day that was. See you again soon.

Ooh dear, that's not a good sign!
Running is going ok though, yaaay.
Fear not merry gentle folk, I meant my ability to think mildly amusing blog titles.
Meh, and so to day 2.
Twas a pleasant outing again, which is a nice start to Juneathon I think you may agree. As day 1 was a run home from work last night, and as much as I hate to do it tomorrow, I must return there in the morning. On my way there I intend to go to the gym where I will attempt to burn some fat and double my 1-pack.. But for this I need my bicycle. Guess where the little beggar is? Yup, it be at work, so, as they say in the famous song, hi-ho hi-ho it's off to National Grid Stores I go.
That was my run today, back into work to pick up my bike, in a slightly quicker time than yesterday, which was nice, followed by a little bike ride back home.
Tomorrows run will again be on my way back from work, but this time armed with a Garmin FR110! Yaay me for finally getting one woo woo.
So, till then my athletical type chums, pip pip.

Juneathonagain day 1again.
Hello!
I'm still here. Sorry.
And so is Juneathon, the vicious bastard. Only kidding fellow 'athoners, it's not vicious.
Well, stuff has happened since last I infected the web with my drivel, it'd be a pretty boring place if it hadn't really wouldn't it. But I may well go into that at a later date.
And so, to the important stuff - Juneathon.
I'm going to take it easy this year in a probably vain attempt not to smash my legs off, and by easy I mean not running 10 miles twice in 24 hours like I did last time, stupid boy. Mostly I will be running to and from work (3.65 miles) to start with, with a club run slung in there hither and thither for the first couple of weeks before I up the distance at all.
So that is where we start this years attempt, with a 3.65 mile run home from work at 9pm last night, hence the next-day bloggage. It wasn't a very exciting run apart from having to stop suddenly to avoid being squishedby a car, but it was quite a pleasant evening, so that was nice.
That is the end of that'n, I shall return later however with more "exciting" adventures. Till then, ta taa.
