Juneathon Day 29

The penultimate day of Juneathon corresponded with the start of my attempts to train for the Birmingham Great Run which takes place in October.

Great Birmingham Run

Day one of my half marathon training schedule said…

 “Gentle 3 mile jog”

I can manage a gentle jog!

After I realised that I hadn’t switched my Garmin to miles, I ended up run-walking my way to 5 kilometres in 31:52 #muppet

At lunchtime I travelled down to London on a scarily empty train to meet a friend. From what I can recall, in the evening I drank several bottles of Monteith’s beer and ate far too much gorgeous Italian food.

The end of Juneathon weigh-in could be slightly embarrassing.
