A post from Preston...

And so it ends…

‘June-a-Thonners’, your leader speaks. Hear his drunken words.

30 days ago a spirit came to me, in the form of a giant land squid, and spoke these sacred words:

‘For thirty days thou must run each day on your feet of toes and heel.
Go forth and spread these words:
All who jog throughout the month of June will truly be the chosen people,
and they will inherit the earth.
And some other cool stuff. Like swing-ball.’

And so I spread this message through the prophet, the Jogger Blogger. And everyday, across the globe, each continent pulsated with the slapping of foot on tarmac.

And now it’s all over, and your swing-ball sets are in the post. All that remains is for me to congratulate you all on the way you have embodied the true spirit of Prestonism in your commitment to running.

Same time next year chaps. Don’t worry though; ‘Naked Running October’ is just around the corner.

Juneathon™ Day 30 - It's all over

:-)

Time for a well earned rest all round. Got my butt out of bed for one last time this Juneathon™ and for a change it was raining. Plodded around for a 10 miler. So all in all I've done 144miles this month :-D the most I've ever run in a month.

Well who won then? I know I didn't I had a few days off ill - who exercised everyday in June then? post a comment and let the world know who is the winner of the grand Juneathon™ no prize.

What's next? Well Bear and Jogblog are on about a Lardathon in July... I'm up for it, just need the rules on what we are meant to do.

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 144

It's nearly all over :-D

Nearly time to rest up - thank goodness.

Preston is going to email me a post to put up tomorrow... interesting.

Managed to crank out a runbbish 3 miles.

Juneathon™ Day 27

UPDATE:
Managed a cheeky 5miler :-)

Error! - Pressed the snoooooze button and didn't get up extra early for a run. I'll go after work and do a cheeky 5 :-P (must remember to pack my inflatable boat).


Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 127

Juneathon™ Day 26

Things have been wet wet wet up north this last 2 days. But that didn't stop the God of Juneathon and I taking a lunchtime jog.

All started well (I remembered to super strap up my arm), but once we headed down near the river things started to go a bit pete tong.

A woman heading our way on a push bike announcing that it was slightly damp down the path. Not put off we waded through about 2 foot of water from the burst river and carried on running for another mile or so. Getting to the railway bridge we were met with chest high water - Preston wanted to carry on, but I pointed out my arm might not allow me to monkey swing my way under, so we turned around and finished our cheeky 4 miles.

I hope everyone is ok and dry out there - if not hope it sorts out asap for you guys.

I'm going to try and get up and slap a 10 miler in the face of juneathon in the morning before work.


Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 122

Juneathon™ Day 25

Not much of a run today - I'm well tired out from nit sleeping :-/ and the weather LOL wet or what.

Managed a 2 miler - will try and get out for 5 tomorrow :-D still 5 days to go. I really wanted to put in about 150+ miles this month... I hate injuries! I hope I can slap down another 25 by the end of Juneathon™.

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 118

Juneathon™ Day 24

I Strapped my arm up tighter than a gimp at a bondage party this morning and went out for a run.

Not being able to put in the miles has been doing my head in, so I made the most of it and managed a very very wet 10 miles.

Typing with one hand is doing my head in - sorry for not commenting that much at the moment, as soon as I get my trained monkey to help with my keyboard short cuts I promise to be back to my old self.

Have a good rest of the weekend.

PS - I haven't had a drink for ages..eeeeeek!

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 116

Juneathon™ Day 23

Retro post - felt like pants all day, took small one Ice skating (we didn't go on) - dashed down to leicester for a house warming, came back did a rubbish run and generally felt sorry for myself.

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 106

Juneathon™ Day 22

A wimpy 1 miler and a picture from an office window = todays blog

Hope everyone else is ok.

PS wrist/arm is still giving me lots of jip.

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 103

Juneathon™ Day 21

Update - 11pm and just got in from London... tired, managed to walk around 4 mile :-)

Look at me - 2 days and no sleep... ERROR.

I haven't even managed a nap today/last night. My wrist is bl**dy killing me, it has spread to the otherside and into my hand. I have just got back from the hospital - all they could give me were some pain killers but not even the strongones (as it's the middle of the night don't you know).

I can go back this morning for some stronger onesif I want - but seeing as I'm going to be in Canary Wharf at 11, I can't see me getting to the hospital.

There's no way that I can run today - just walking makes me want to cry... so i'll strap on a pedometre and count my steps.

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 102

Juneathon™ Day 20

Last night was fun - couldn't sleep very well, so at about 4 I gave in and got up and took some pain killers :-)

They seemed to help, so I thought that I might as well get out and do a run before work. Once I was out and running it wasn't too bad - and I even put in a midweek 8 miles before 6.30am :-)

Now all that is left to do is try and make it through the day.

PS - i'll post a picture of my lovely wrist support once my camera plays ball.

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 98

Juneathon™ Day 19

A quick trip to the hospitals A&E ward on the way to work this morning was called for. My wrist had kept me up most of the night, and there was no way I could get in to see our Dr this morning.

Surprisingly I got seen straight away :-D The verdict = Tendonitis/RSI. Joy! I'm sporting a lovely splint and eating anti-inflammatory drugs. Hopefully normal service will resume soon. I was told to rest it up, so I'm now kind of typing one handed.

New Hello Kitty’s will be put on hold until I can move my wrist again.

That said I took of the strap of doom and went out for a run...eek! My wrist hurt. But I did 5 miles in the sun.


Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 90

Juneathon™ Day 18

Another Monday and another run sans Preston. Packed in a 5 miler. I'm typing this mono handed, my left wrist has swollen up and set :-/ not sure what's up. Perhaps it's the 20 years of using a mac - and keyboard short cutting... will see how it goes.

Juneathon™ Mileage Total = 85

Juneathon™ Day 17

Another day another run :-) My legs are really starting to feel tired... 13 days to go then a day or 2 off.

Apart from running we went a car booting this morning, and then the normal Sunday chores. We then all had our Face painted by the funsized person - good isn't it :-D I think I'll keep it on for work.

Don't faint Preston came out for a run with me today (he has been running on his own though) - we slapped another 4 miles in the face of flab.
