There has been a paucity of Juneathon posts of late. I have to admit to bailing mid month, unable to cope with the pressure of late night running followed by early hours blogging, but it wasn’t long before we missed at least the running bit. It’s actually refreshing to run daily and yet without...

Now that I’ve gone all minimalist or practically barefoot, I think the non-runner could be forgiven for expecting me to get ready just a little bit quicker. We were only going out for a one-miler to gently stretch out the strained limbs but I still needed the GPS and heart rate monitor and the...

I was close to quitting when I got home this evening but as I was relaxing into the sofa the Non-Runner reminded me that we were expecting a visitation from her ex-Mother-in-law and a nun who wanted to see the kids. That was all the motivation I needed to grab my GPS and trainers,...

Some runs are painful, your brain whines at you like a teenager and every cell of you body just screams at you to stop. Fortunately others are a breeze and even though your knee may twinge and your toenails bruise, the run feels dynamic and spirited. This evening was a good run, the sort...

I wanted nothing more than a lazy evening in front of the telly but as we are committed to the Juneathon cause, we grudgingly donned lycra and ran out into the early evening rain. We’d had some dispute about our choice of route, with the Non-Runner voting for an exciting never-been-run-before route around Tooting...
