Today sees the start of two events both connected to running
and getting active – one of my favourite things!
First up is the start of Juneathon – It’s a month long
challenge (if you hadn’t already guessed!) to run or get active every single
day in June – the only catch being is that you need to blog (or micro blog on
twitter – use #juneathon) about your activity every day too!
What better way to keep yourself accountable? It’s also the
perfect reason to flood your various social media timelines with your athletic
prowess!
Find out more plus
how to get involved here. If you are getting involved with Juneathon leave me a comment so I
can pop over and take a look at what you’ve been up to.
Next is the beginning of Women’s Sport Week – starting today
until the 7th June it’s a wonderful opportunity for raising
awareness and increasing the profile of women’s sport across the UK by
everybody involved with participating (that means you and me!) delivering,
leading and working in sport.
It’s being led by Women in Sport and supported by
many governing bodies, as well as Sky Sports, the BBC, Sport England (the
people who brought us This Girl Can) and many more supporters across the
sporting world.
My favourite read on day one is this wonderful BBC feature
all about some inspirational current sporting stars (including Paula Radcliffe) talking about their own
sporting idols.
I really enjoy the early class as it wakes you up in a
gentle but invigorating way and I feel like I’m better placed to tackle the
inevitable stresses that hit the second you walk through the door at work. I’m
lucky to only live a 5 or so minute walk from the venue so it’s extra relaxing
not to have to contend with school traffic!
Today’s new poses to get to grips with were fish, dolphin
and plow – I was definitely better at plow out of these three!
I’ll tell you more about how I’m using Yoga to help with my
running later in the month.

eek! 6:30am! I think I'm doing well if I get up in time to book a gym class online at this time (it's when booking opens so you have to be fast for popular ones), but that's as much movement as I can manage.
This is my first ever Juneathon and I only heard about it last night so I have no idea at all about what to expect. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.
I've just decided to write a essay for me create a blog, which I have been wanting to do for a while. Thanks for this post, it's really useful!
Both events were great, but is was not a lot of people. I recommend organizers to hire PR-managers next time, to have more people. They can find them by looking at zipjob reviews here TopResumeWritingServices
