What was it Damon and the Blur boys sang back in the '90s... all you joggers who go round and round..... I can see how they came to this observation after tonights run. I'm using Tooting Bec common as my main running site this week. It seems a popular location for afterwork running. There are lots of paths that criss cross the grass so you can add bits on, take short cuts, or just go round and round and round and round. I passed 3 or 4 runners at least twice as we went in opposite directions. I managed a fabulous 4.2 miles tonight, my longest run of Juneathon yet. I had time on my hands (or feet..... teehee!) tonight so took advantage and gave week 3 a really good mileage boost. I felt strong throughout, I feel happy with the time and got back to my hotel just as the impending grey clouds that had hovered overhead since 3pm finally opened... good timing!
Now officially half way through Janathon I have taken stock of achievements so far.
Wk 1 mileage total 9.4
Wk 2 mileage total 12.34
15 day (halfway) mileage total 25.94
Basic maths; 15 more days and I must total more than 60.1miles. Average of 2.3miles per day needed from now on in, no slacking or minimal effort days. Rest days on my bike allowable but will need to time them appropriately to meet the week on week build up target. I can see that once again, just like Janathon, Juneathon has gripped me, sucked me in and given me a new focus!
