Juneathon Day 4: the one with the rain, tears and Thai meal

Once again, there may well be a few typos as I’ve had a couple of beers. I’m not sure if my Wallingford colleagues are trying to finish me off, but my schedule for the rest of the week looks a little full on. I can’t believe that this time next week it will all be over.

I had a productive day in the office catching up on emails, number crunching and writing hand-over notes. I’m going to miss my hydrology colleagues more than they probably realise. Apparently, they will miss the banter and expertise I bring to the team. They said such nice things I may have cried a little.

After work I headed to the Old Post Office with a colleague. I’m not sure that drinking a couple of pints in less than an hour was sensible. Pints completed; we walked the short distance to the local Thai restaurant and met up with our team leader. The food was amazing and reasonably priced for Wallingford.

And now it’s 22:30 and I need to have a shower before I head to bed. I didn’t make time for my three mile run, there’s always tomorrow. I mean it would be rude not to run on Global Running Day.

Wherever you are and whoever you are with, make sure tomorrow is a Running Day! Take the time to run for you, to run with the people you love and to run for whatever reason you want. Just run and enjoy it! #GlobalRunningDay #activeishappy #FamiliesOnTrack pic.twitter.com/WPy67HDT5G

Cumulative Juneathon Distance: 0 km

Are you planning on heading out for a run today? I really hope I woke up early enough to complete a couple of miles on Global Running Day.

If you had to choose between a Chinese. Italian, Thai and Indian restaurant where would you pick? I think I’d always opt for a Chinese restaurant.

    I’d always choose Italian for a meal out- such a nice treat.

      I do enjoy Italian food, it’s a shame there aren’t any decent Italian restaurants near me. I really do miss Casa Becci in Marylebone, it’s the perfect family owned Italian restaurant.

    I have to say Chinese. Italian and Thai are literally my three worst cuisine. I’m not a pasta or noodle fan at all. Chinese is just a bit too… gloopy? Indian however is one of my favourites!

      I’m okay with pasta but it has to be cooked how I like it. There’s nothing worse than what I’d describe as slimy pasta. After a traumatic flight between Manchester and Auckland – noodles for breakfast, lunch and tea – I’m not a huge fan of noodle but will eat them if my options are limited. I do need to start exploring the Indian restaurants in Birmingham. I mean let’s face it, I have a lot to work my way through.
