Run in the sun

Mad dogs and English (wo)men go out in the midday sun!!!

Well – that was me today with a run –  but juggling time with kids, a hubby and studies – sometimes you’ve just got to go for that run when you have the time, especially for Juneathon Day 4!

I’ll say now, it actually turned out to be a good run, but I will have a bit of a grumble – again my legs today were so tight and heavy and I did make sure I warmed up and stretched out before I ran, so starting find this a bit annoying.

Then whilst I ran my phone rang – it was the hubby, so answered and walked while I talked.  Helped a little to loosen my legs.  Then I came across some tree surgeons so ran passed quickly so I didn’t get hit by any bits of falling branches, but something managed to fly in my eye so had to stop to remove it from my eye and stretched my calves out again.  Thought I’d have a drink of my water – didn’t open my sports lid properly and it managed to pinch my lip – ow! Then a fly flew my eye! Pollen seemed quite high too!!!  Enough grumbling now – I then did manage to run quite well, considering it was quite hot, and made it home in one piece!!!

I fought with my sister

It was all for the sake of exercise and Janathon!

Don’t worry, we’re still talking – I had a bout of Wii boxing with my sister, Sarah, of Caking it fame! It was very amusing – I also had some bouts against the computer and did some training, my arms certainly ached by the end, but it’s all worth it! No pain no gain as the saying goes.
I’ve attached some videos for your amusement, I mean as evidence! Not very flattering I can tell you!!!

A bout with my sister!

Training session – the cardigan was off!

I’ve also done a 30 second plank, inspiration from Helen of Helsbels blog. I’m now aiming to do a plank challenge and up the length of time I plank each day as per the ‘30 day plank challenge‘ but where there is a rest day I am going to aim to do the previous days time again! We’ll see how long this lasts – think I survived 15 days of the ‘30 day abs challenge‘ – hoping for better this time, but we’ll see!!!

My impression of a plank!

Well, I hope you’ve had a good chuckle over my video clips and photos, laughter is good for the health too!!!

Wonder what Janathon Day 5 will have in store…
