Well that’s that then, another Athon completed and signed off. It was a fairly understated finish, no dramatic extra miles tacked on like last year. This was just a 3 mile loop accompanied by Ginge and a gentle sense of relief that life can get back to normal.
Holiday jogging has been surprisingly enjoyable (new places, some gorgeous views and the pleasure of Ginge’s company on a few outings).
Holiday blogging has been both a pain in the arse (trying to keep an iPhone alive in a tent is somewhat challenging) and lovely (being able to post photos).
Holiday logging has been non-existent (far too fiddly and battery sapping). I’ll log the last 10 days when I’m home tomorrow, but I think I’ve done 101 miles all together.
Tomorrow I will be taking my cue from the Folkestone Mermaid and will be mainly sitting (although I will be fully clothed and in a car).
After that, I suspect that there will be a couple of days off before contemplating half marathon training (having investigated the hill at the end of the Folkestone course I suspect I’m going to need it. It’s a bloody big hill) and the next canal adventure.
In the meantime, I see an ice cream in the offing…
Why does the mermaid look like a merman or is that me, not as nice as the Copenhagen one! Great following your blog again this monht, the photos and anicdotes are always great!
Ooh, that ice cream looks good, and you well and truly deserve it! A fantastic effort as ever, and impressive mileage. Well done.
(I’m ever so slightly sad that I didn’t manage it this time round, but I’ll be back up to full tilt next week for half-marathon training, bring on the hill!)
Keeping you Juneathon going on holiday is definitely worth extra cornets.
Well done
Hey, well done on your ton! Great blog too — enjoy that ice cream.
mmm, ice cream
Brilliant mileage and I love that pic at the end – th emermaid one I mean although the ice cream does look tasty!
