The dawn of Juneathon: A splendid run by Mr Slow

A new day dawned bright and warm and many runners across the land leapt out of bed and hurried to put on their running kit   groaned and hid under the duvet wondering what the hell they let themselves in for.

Mr Slow, got up, made some porridge and, after heading out on the school run to deposit a small child at  a place of learning, waited for Mr Fast to arrive and drive them both to the bottom of a rather large hill.

Mr Slow rather likes hills, although slow, Mr Slow finds that climbing hills is fun and so the 1081 feet elevation of the planned 10 or so miles wasn't off putting.

Mr Slow, was indeed slow but the fact it was a very hot day didn't deter him and Mr Fast from running a very splendid 10.67 miles along and up and down and up and along and up and up and along and down and up the North Downs Way.

Mr Slow and Mr Fast had a very nice lunch of mushroom soup and a magnum. It was a slow but splendid start to Juneathon, the challenge of nutters.


Miles: 10.67
Magnums: 1
