    Evening all, sorry haven't been on in a while Christmas our busiest time of year trying to sort two homeless projects out! My cooks are off so tomorrow I'm cooking a full Christmas dinner for 50! That coupled with a nasty stomach bug last week has meant not a lot of running here. Then doing it all again for 11 of us at home on Tuesday! :-P



    Hope everyone has a great Christmas!!! image

    TR - Hats off to you mate. It's refreshing and re assuring to hear of other people devoting their time to help those who are in need.  All the very best to you.

    Stage 1 of Operation Trifle complete. Smell of cloves which are studded in the honey roast ham coming from the oven is making me feel very hungry! Off for run number two once ham comes out image

    sorry to hear you've had the bug TR40 - it's been most of the way through our house as well, I'm placing bets on the youngest coming down with it tomorrow...  Hope the Christmas dinner went well today and that you enjoy the family one tomorrow.  Christmas dinner is the one meal I'm banned from the kitchen for, although the downside on that is that we don't have Christmas dinner until boxing day imageimageimageimage

     

    Sounds like you've had a busy day JD - although I won't ask how you've made turkey stock (presumably) before roasting the turkeyimage

    Well done at Portsmouth Brer, great time after all you've done this year, even without the mud!

    very little running been going on here, but I've been braving the weather when possible, and hoping to get out a few times this week...

     

    Hope everyone manages to stay dry and safe over Christmas! image

    Combination of 25m on Monday and zero exercise yesterday left my legs feeling very stiff! Decided to scrap the planned 13m run in favour of 2 shorter recovery runs. Loosened up nicely by the end of a VERY WET AND WINDY jog image

    Just found out that Snod is the Welsh marathon champs for masters in 2013. Might try and run it on fresh legs next year - instead of 3 weeks after peak effort. Just as long as I get that 2.44.59 in London first....

    I just did a 6.5m recovery run on the flat. Only to find car battery was dead and then ran a hilly 2.8m home....imageimage

    Anybody out there?

    just need to work out how to survive a shopping trip to Liverpool tomorrow now...the girls both wanted clothes for Christmas and it seemed good idea at the time to say we'd take them for a day out so they could choose their own....image
