MERRY RUNNING TO ALLXXXX
I shall run up the hill (533m) once I have the turkey in the oven. This is my regular Christmas run. I'm really looking forward to it as I have had a stress fracture and haven't run for 6 weeks (so it will be slow!). There is not much snow down here in the valley, but there will be plenty on top so it should be nice and soft.
I don't think I'll be up to the Boxing Day fell race though!
Yes
Hopefully get a run in early in the morning, as there's no chance after about 10.30am.
I wouldn't dare! My husband thinks I run too much as it is [ are there *any* non-runners that don't think we runners do too much?] and I can't afford a decent divorce lawyer so soon after Christmas!
Fortunately I'm actually on a rest week in my training schedule and it's just easy 5 milers, so I've just swapped the days around so I do my easy 5 on boxing day [which I'll do early in the morning as he sleeps off the previous days turkey fest
]
I also have the excuse of going out to test drive the new Garmin forerunner 60 Santa is bringing me this Christmas
Well i would like to i've not been able to get out for a week now cos of the ice
but i will be at my folks who live up the road from a great big park so on christmas day come hell or high water I will get down to the park and do a few laps on christmas morning, Lovely!
I'm very much looking forward to my traditional Christmas Eve celebrations - getting leathered in the pub with my brother (fresh over from Canada) while dad's at midnight mass, then we all meet up about 1.30am for present opening and Christmas supper! So I won't be in any fit state for a run on Christmas day morning, but given that I've normally slept off the turkey, pudding and alcohol excesses by early evening (if I make it through to the Technicolor section of Wizard of Oz, I'm doing well. Wake me up when the blue monkeys are on...) I may well step out on Boxing Day.
Saw so many Robins! Peaceful and perfect.
Set me up for the day.
I stayed with my parents over christmas. The pavements were all iced over and "polished" with rain. Could barely stand, let alone walk or run.
However, on christmas morning, there were no cars on the main (and gritted) roads, so I took advantage, went out and ran down the middle of the local A roads. Great fun. Boxing Day race cancelled due to ice.
Both parents had horrendous colds, I now have a tickly throat and bloody marathon training schedule starts next Monday. Fantastic.
