Juneathon Day #30. The end.
We made it, the end of Juneathon! But I wimped out of the 8 miles my training schedule had down for me due to, um, not really feeling like it but still, I couldn’t wimp out totally, what with it being the last day of Juneathon and that so I loaded up my iPod with some of my favourite tunes, although for some reason my favourite tune ever ever ever wasn’t in my iTunes folder and you’d think with 5,000 songs in there, my favourite one ever ever ever would be in there and so I decided that I couldn’t leave the house without it and eventually found it hiding in an external hard drive and so with my 18 minutes of tunes decided to run for 18 minutes and I went out in the rain, hardcore stylee, and went round the park and up to the sports field and because I am the only hardcore stylee finely tuned athlete in Walthamstow had the place to myself and it’s raining and I’m getting soaked and my favourite tunes are being blasted into my ear drums and I get back to the park and Joining the Plankton by Cardiacs which is my favourite song ever ever ever comes on and I think this is the last song but I’ve only done 15 minutes, I thought I put another song on and then Stereo Total start singing I Love You, Ono and I think can I get round the park before this song finishes so I speed up and I don’t quite make it to the gate before the song finishes and I go home having completed Juneathon and I think I should win Juneathon because, um, I like winning things.

LARDATHON – THE RULES
Right then, who’s up for Lardathon?
Lardathon is simple. The rules are
Lose weight.
No eating crap allowed (unless it’s your birthday or anniversary or your friend’s coming round to see your new bathroom and you’re going to your favourite Italian restaurant after)*.
You must post your food diary every day and confess to any crap eaten.
You are allowed to drink but not 20 pints every night.
You can drink more on beer drinking weather days.
You can drink in any pubs where smoking is banned.
Do lots of exercise (doesn’t have to be every day).
If you want a logo, design it yourself 😉
*Crap includes pizza, crisps, chocolate, cakes, ice cream**, donuts, anything containing large quantities of cheese, cream and butter, lard. This list is not exhaustive.
**Free ice cream is allowed.
I will make up some more rules later.
Today my scales said I was 9st 4 and I want to be under 9st. Ideally, 8.7 st. Actually, I’d like to be 8st but then people start moaning at me for being too skinny (I’m 5 ft 6).
Well done on getting out there – love the rules 🙂
Not sure we’ll lose weight drinking 20 pints every night bar one but never mind 😉
71.95 miles is shockingly impressive.
I think I may join Lardathon, especially as you have relaxed the drinking laws, not sure I should have to go through a birthday without eating crap though.
Ooh, hang on, let me adjust the rules 🙂
What about anniversaries? can I have a night off for that? – If I can count me in.
Another question about Lardathon – do we have to post a daily food diary?
Well done on the mileage very impressive… Juneathon has left me with the feeling that running everyday is kindda ok, do we have to exercise everyday on Lardathon… are you doing a logo.
PS the relaxed drinking rules are a good thing 😉
Ooh, hang on, let me adjust the rules. Again. 🙂
Nice 🙂
I’m in:)
congrats on your juneathon milage.
OK so now we are on the Lardathon??? ok well my miles for the Juneathon is 69.65. Sounds fun.
Good luck!
I have been on my own Lardathon since mid-February. If I can figure out these crazy Brit units… I started at 9st 10. I am now 8st 10. Sure, I lost a stone of lard. But I basically had to cut my drinking back by about 90% to do so. So I’m not nearly as entertaining on Saturday nights as I used to be. But I’ve saved about $1400 on wine since February. I think I’ve spent it all on whole grains, fruit and turkey cutlets.
Only .714285714 stone to go!
Also, good luck on the half mary training. You’re on the slippery slope to the marathon — you know this, right?
