Juneathon 2009 Days 17 & 18 (and an extra credit)
18 06 2009I didn’t slack yesterday, honest. I cycled 8.5 miles and here’s the splits to prove it:
And here’s a photo of a horse posing by my bike that I took yesterday to prove I was there. Ok, so I should have had the horse holding a copy of yesterday’s newspaper in his teeth, but I didn’t pass an Evening Standard seller, funnily enough.
And you’d better say bye to the Raleigh Shopper as, on Sunday, we’re going to pick up this
which is my new bike and I’m very very excited as it’s the prettiest bike in the whole wide world.
In the evening Shaun decided to drag me out on his Juneathon run on my bike to carry out carrying shopping duties after he’d taken a Juneathon detour through Sainsburys, and because I had already Juneathoned and as 8pm is a time for watching telly or reading or playing on Facebook or eating crisps or drinking wine or all of the above but definitely anything that doesn’t actually involve exercise I have made an executive decision and decided that being a shopping basket counts as an extra credit and cancels out one of my slacker days.
And today, after my successful 3 miles on Tuesday, I decide that this morning I will go out for 4 miles. This actually turns into 1 mile sort of running and then turning round and walking most of the way back home. But I did slightly redeem myself by going on the rowing machine for ten minutes when I got back and I’ll be going for a bike ride at lunchtime before doing some work that I should have done yesterday and that I’ll have to do before Dell send a courier to collect the shit pc they sold me.

OMG.
I want that bike!!!!!!
Pink is the the new black! What a kewl bike!
That Photo of the horse is FUNNY!
and your new bike is wrong.
Very shiny, is iliketocount getting a new set of wheels too?
A word of warning though, that lovely brooks saddle will take a bit of breaking in. After it is broken in they are the most comfortable saddles in the world though.
Wow. Cool bike.
That really is the prettiest bike in the whole world. My bike is sitting in a storage container…in Australia. I miss it so much. Mind you it’s ugly compared to yours.
How cool!! I love that bike and want one now!!
It would also match my paisley pink fender telecaster, which is obviously of great importance to me, even if no-one else cares.
This is almost like IronMan, you rowed, you cycled and you ran. We just had the IRONMAN competition here in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho in USA last Sunday. They had to swim 2.4 miles then bike 112 miles and then run 26.2 miles. You would probably do good there :). here’s their link if you want to check it out: http://www.ironmancda.com
