Christmas Day 2019 How still we see thee lie

Morning!

Lyrics: How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep...

What: short run

Why: tradition

Happy Christmas everyone! Hope you have a good day, and hope that Chick celebrated well yesterday.

Lyrics are lines two and three.

Back to sleep, hopefully!

  • Morning.

    Hope everyone manages to enjoy at least some of the day.

    Did your boys let you get any sleep chamolk?

    Good to hear that your back is feeling a bit better OH.

    Did you get some more sleep Alehouse?

    What:               hopefully a run if not more walking
    Why:                not sure if the knee will behave
    Last hard:        not running for two days
    Last rest:         24/12

    Lyrics - yes.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Happy Christmas

    What: parkwalk
    Why: going with Lucas , hoping to make it a new family tradition
    Last hard: yesterday's run, though this walk may hurt as I have a huge blister on my foot
    Lyrics: of course

    Have a lovely day all and enjoy your average 4000 calorie meal :lol:
  • Happy Christmas everybody!

    Thanks for the wreck link OH.

    Ouch emzap.

    What: some miles later, walk with OH first
    Why: work off yesterday's meal and make space for another.
    Last hard: bit homesick for some UK traditions. Have found an ancient pudding though, so will get some of the 4000 cals. (Hmm rum butter!)
    Last rest: 23.12

    Lyrics: yes
  • Shouldn't that be brandy butter Hazel? Enjoy whatever.

    Oh dear, not good about the blister emzap. Hope your walk isn't too painful.

    Mark and I have been for a walk. My knee is still painful walking so I know I shouldn't run on it but I've given my legs a good going over with the foam roller and I've taped the knee and I'm tempted to give it a go..........or I may just be sensible and go for another walk whilst Mark runs:-(

    I shan't get near 4000 calories for the day let alone a meal - I don't think I physically could! butternut squash and sage roulade with veg for my main course.
    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
  • Family day today
    Rare yes for lyrics
  • Nice alternative to turkey, LMH. Hope your knee allows you to run.

    Ouch, emzap.

    Did you manage some more zzz, ale?

    Enjoy the pudding, Hazel.

    As for the 4000 calories - I don't really care about dried fruit or marzipan so pretty easy for me to dodge some of the calorie bombs. Chocolate is a different story...

    What: 9 miles on dead legs - combination of yesterday's killer hills, a long time sitting around a dining table and too much food busted them I guess
    Why: tradition
    Last hard: getting going today
    Last rest: Friday
    Lyrics: yes
  • Afternoon!

    No, didn't get any more sleep: had to be up early to put the sprouts on.

    Hope you are all having a good day!

    Only running present is the late Bruce Tulloh's book that details his run across the US in 1969: the book has been re-published to record the 50th anniversary of the run. LA to New York, 2,876 miles in 65 days anyone? Just the 44.25 miles per day. Bruce was a track runner really and the fact that he had never run more than 23 miles at any one time makes the feat seem even more amazing.

    Back to the kitchen...

    What - 10k over the sodden fields
    why - stretch the legs, beautiful sunny day out there 
    last rest - Saturday
    last hard - Sunday’s trails

    club xmas eve run yesterday: 8 trail miles featuring mud, streams, waterlogged fields and the odd hill. Ended up in the pub for a few lunchtime refreshments...

    merry Christmas!!

    I feel like I managed 4000....
    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can 
  • Got a small amount LMH - search and rescue operation just after I posted this morning, at the river beside us, so had a helicopter just above us, then boys awake at 5:30 and up at 6:40. Didn't manage to fit in a run unfortunately, but did get to play with a Nintendo switch and a quadcopter that Santa brought. And dinner went well. And I got a new pair of Asics Nimbus. A successful day.

    Hope the blister eases quickly Emz.

    Nice runs chick and Dustin. 

    Hope the pudding was nice Hazel

    Nice presents Wabo

    I've got a delightful shift in the out of hours gp centre tomorrow morning. Just give for a bit more chocolate before bed I think
