gobi - I have no idea where you live now, but I am guessing it isn't near Tamworth!
OH was in Milton Keynes last night so I am home with the kids, hopefully I will get to swimming on time, and then tonight we are packing the kids off to the grandparents for the night and going out for a meal
No run today or yesterday - yesterday I did a spin class and today I did some plyo and kettlebells in the gym and will go to yoga in an hour or so. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get a decent length run in, depending on how my most troublesome bodyparts behave.
troublesome bodyparts! Oooeer. Recommend running slower than normal if you've got some troublesome bits.
I'm heading into town for some last minute madness and hoping to find the bratty stand up and running in the Christmas market. Will run later. 6 at MP today, 10 LDR tomorrow says the schedule.
Evening all - just about survived the Christmas bash last night, just a large bruise on my backside to show for some very enthusiastic dance moves. Worryingly, I was DJing in our office so perhaps should have been quite so excited. 6 miles today, cold but glorious. Congratulations on the job Gobi. Hope you survived the shopping PSC, have fun tonight MC. Taking Mr F out for his birthday meal tonight, it's not his birthday until Tuesday but that clashes with track so tonight it is.
Erm, how do you DJ and Dance? Arnica is good for bruises - even big bruises on bottoms!
Shopping was hell - Canterbury was rammed with people - mostly errant Europeans - don't they have shops in Germany/France/Belgium? The Bratty stand had a queue longer than the one outside Madame Tussauds so we abandoned and went to EAT instead - a wise move as it happened and had a cracking spicy Thai soup. Anyway, successful shopping trip in regards to stuff purchased but it knocked the run out of me so home for a nip of PADDY's and a good film (Message in a bottle). Run tomorrow.
I did run today, but not until 9.30am. I was waiting for daylight! Did 5.8 miles in 56:28 which I'm very happy with. No major issues with said bodyparts - just the usual Achilles niggle but it wasn't bad.
I've entered two Runthrough 10Ks in January (Battersea Park and Hyde Park) so hopefully nothing will break before then.
thanks Emmy - it was fun taking them. The Robin was so tame/brave!
I think a cold that was threatening to overwhelm me has been avoided. The OH is over the worst having had a fairly torrid week of coughing and sneezing. Up early in the morning.... nite all!
Morning all - just a bit of core for me, track tonight. Took my new Swim Smooth waterproof cards to the pool last night, a bit more motivation to do a few sets, I need it when it comes to swimming at the moment. Sounds like a good night at work birky. Hope 5.30 is healing well after his marathon incident at the weekend.
on the bike since 5am and now sat in a Maccies with coffee. 5 layers on and minus something when I set off today. Meeting friends at 10am so a funny day but 80 to 100 miles by the time I get home.
Just a steady 3.5 miler this morning. Kept it under 10 min/mi pace (I have to push to achieve that because I'm basically a tortoise) - average 9:45. I didn't go out until nearly 8 (not working today - or until Jan 5th for that matter) so had a lovely pink sky and a crescent moon above me. Had to deal with pedestrians and cars on the way up to the common which reminds me why I don't like running at this time. Looking forward to the lighter months!
nothing for me today, tired after a long day at school yesterday which included 'senior presentation evening' so rolled over and turned the alarm off! And now I am apparently doing everything apart marking the books in front of me!
looks like it is going to be ridiculously warm tomorrow so the shorts will be out in the morning

Rest day as shattered.
Really enjoyed working at bbc SPOTY yesterday.
I was helping Dave Moorcroft who, when realising I was an athletics fan, stood and chatted away
Lewis Hamilton's dog Roscoe 'stole the show'. I was working in that area

Just saying...
Morning Kate, Gobi and Cal.

Managed a great easy run this morning. Best 10k for a while!

Emmy: Sounds a good run today and great NW too
You're probably right, Gobi.
