The 6th and 7th days of Juneathon
Yesterday, after being told that no, paddling in the sea for three seconds then complaining my feet were hurting and putting my shoes back on didn’t actually count for Juneathon, and after it turning very very dark, very very quickly, then being very very sunny, very very quickly, I went out for three miles on my bike but while I was out decided to go a bit further and did five and a half miles instead.

And today, as I hadn’t been to the gym for two weeks and I don’t like to waste my membership money even though it only costs half what I was paying in London, I walked up the road and reacquainted myself with the gym and there was a girl in the changing rooms and she left her bag and clothes on the hook and I don’t know why people don’t use the lockers in this gym and so I put my bag in the locker and locked it up like the paranoid Londoner I am and in the gym was an old man wearing a long-sleeved fleecey top and I thought he must be boiling like the man we saw out running yesterday in a black t-shirt and long black trousers and after I stopped wondering why the old man was wearing so many clothes, I did twenty minutes on the cross-trainer and then I did twenty minutes on the rowing machine and then I went to do twenty minutes on the treadmill but after two minutes my left boob was hurting and I thought maybe I need a new sports bra and I put the speed down on the treadmill and my left knee was hurting as it’s been hurting since I bashed it when I fell off my bike when I cycled home drunk at one o’clock in the morning a few weeks ago and I think I’m going to get off the treadmill at five minutes but at four and a bit minutes Audiofuel comes on and I think oh no, not Audiofuel, I don’t think you’re allowed to slack when Audiofuel comes on and I keep on going after five minutes as the music has given me a boost and it’s like musical catnip and so I stay on the treadmill for the whole twenty minutes.

Wow, that Audiofuel sounds like good stuff. Hope I win some.
If you see someone training in heavy clothing, don’t discount the option that they might be acclimatising themselves for a fancy dress race.
Ha ha, fair point but I don’t think the pensioners in my gym are training for anything, in fancy dress or othewise!
‘Musical catnip’, excellent!
It sounds like you’re almost enjoying living in Kent. Almost 😉
