Hope everyone had a nice time and received lots of prezzies. We have eaten far too much and I shall not be venturing near the scales until mid February when I might have shifted a couple of ounces!
I didn't run on Christmas morning as planned as it didn't seem fair on hubby, so we both went out on Boxing Day morning and he ran the full 2 miles. He was very pleased with himself and I was most impressed. I then carried on and did a further 5.5 hilly miles but felt I could have run forever as it was such a lovely morning.
We have got so much snowf here and everywhere looks beautiful. Yesterday we woke to about 3 inches which was topped up throughout the day, melted, then froze overnight making the lanes treacherous this morning. Needless to say, this morning's run was on the treddy.
It's just started snowfing again, great big flakes too. I quite like being snowfed in ;-)))))))
DaveC, have you got snowf too? I'm never sure if we're further East than you.
JJ, I must complain about the lack of festive spirit around in TWells when my husband and I visited on Christmas Eve. Not a brass band or carol singer in sight. Most unimpressive. Please try harder next year.
Gozzie, sorry to hear you're still unwell. You must get yourself in better shape for next year so I can beat you at Brighton again (if you're still down here then) ;-P
Not sure that my showing at the Serpies 10k on NYD will be at all impressive as I feel like a Weeble (do you remember the song, 'Weebles wobble but they don't fall down'?). Never mind. It's nothing that the loss of a couple of stones of lard and a punishing training schedule can't sort out!
Yes we've got quite a deep covering of snow up here on Wrotham hill,we had quite a lot of trouble getting home from relatives last night with the car skiding everywhere(dont buy a lexus for icy roads).
Everyone beat me at Brighton as I DNS (0:
The year before I seemed to spend more time walking while I searched for tissues (as I was getting over yet another cold even then!)than I spent running!
If I were fit I'd threaten to beat you at Canterbury again,but I'll be lucky to walk it this year,nevermind race !
I rarely do as I get full very quickly,so although I eat different food at Christmas I don't eat more,even when well!
Hi everyone! Cna't get near the computer at the mo - at least not long enough to read back or chat.
JJ, I'm not sure if you are still thinking of racing on Friday. I've left a message for Lars/ Groundhog on the 10K thread asking them to let us know if the race is cancelled. I remember one month the course was icy and they wouldn't take the risk/responsibility.
Did 7 miles steady this morning. It was cold. I fell over once on the ice but no apparent injury has resulted.
Would be too gassy for me though !
That does'nt sound as silly as it sounds.
Hi Reddy
Jay's pushing me off the pc so he can watch a Harry Potter dvd !
I think someone has used the "Engorgio" spell on my waistline !!

JJ - we all need some down-time once in a while. Don't feel bad, I fell asleep on the sofa after dinner.
