Merry Christmas and hereโ€™s to 2020 ๐ŸŽ„

I had a long day at work yesterday, which meant I was battling the hordes in Tesco at 7.00pm and the other last minute things I was going to do yesterday didnโ€™t get done. But this morning, I pulled on my running kit and went off in the sunshine for an Xmas Eve 5k trot. I hardly recognise myself and I know I wasnโ€™t the only one from the regular ping of Strava feeds! Mused on the last year as I went round - the fantastic support and encouragement from VRBs on this forum and the wonderful meet ups starting with Southampton back in April, the challenge of the Wild Wine Run, the joy of tackling and beating Lyme Park, a brilliant weekend at the Great South Run. I feel so lucky to have met so many of you lovely people. Half Marathon to look forward to in March ๐Ÿ˜ฌ and hopefully many more miles and meet ups next year. Have a wonderful Christmas and happy running ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿป

Sounds like you have had a fantastic year. All the best for your ยฝ marathon, see it's so daunting when typed that small ๐Ÿ˜‰ son In law keeps telling me it's only 2 10ks and a bit but as I've only just managed 1 10k may be a while before I join you. Merry Christmas

And a very Merry Christmas & Happy Runny 2020 to you. ๐ŸŽ‰ I was a very, very new runner when you all did the Southampton meet-up, and I felt such awe and amazement that all this was happening almost locally to me and I had no idea! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ™ƒ It was such an inspiration to me. And now youโ€™re holding out that HM on the path ahead... It keeps me trundling along the road, I tell you. ๐Ÿ˜„๐ŸŽ„
