At around three this afternoon monsoon-like conditions greeted me as I peered out of the office window.
I texted Ginge – “I may need a canoe to do Juneathon”. .
As I ran out of the office at 4.15, I was greeted with blue skies and a hint of sunshine. My hopes started to raise.
Ten minutes later, the sky grew darker and as I pulled into the petrol station the first splat of rain hit my windscreen.
In the time it took me to fill my car, the splat had turned into a downpour.
So tonight’s Juneathon has been a mix of activities squeezed in around the weather.
1. Sprint – A rain soaked dash from the front door across the road to the post office so I could catch them before they shut.
2. Weight lifting – Heavy books needed to go back to the library
3. Resistance training – I was strong and avoided being lured into the chippy on my way home
4. Distance – Admittedly not a long distance (it’s about a half mile round trip if you squint a bit) but I walked briskly to the library and back, and was rewarded with a lovely bit of librarian chat while I was there.
I may even do some stretches later (if Ginge puts my cup of tea slightly out of reach…)
Brilliant bit of talking up an attempt at exercise haha. Especially like the ‘resistance’ training bit π
Resistance training. Hmmmmmmm. π Maybe an award is due for creative excuse-making?
brilliant! I like your idea of resistance training
Well done on what sounds like an awesome Juneathon!
I failed my resistance training.
I bought Hot Cross Buns on the way home, they didn’t make it past 8pm.
I’m also glad I’m not the only one who suffered with horrible weather. I hear there are people Juneathoning in Tshirts!
Lol. Very creative!
