This morning I ran my 39th virtual parkrun in that Santa Hat and Reindeer Christmas Jumper, this afternoon I took Holly the dog a short walk, when I came back, I changed back into Christmas gear, Hollies owner took a photo on my Smartphone with me and Holly.
Santa AlMorr with Holly the dog: This morning... - Bridge to 10K

Thanks for sharing. You are truly are Mr Christmas!
Loving the hat and that jumper. Looking very festive there Al.Not sure if Hollie is impressed though...
Great Xmas jumper ๐especially teamed with the santa hat. Holly looks likes she's ready to go for another walk ๐พ๐พ
Good one Al, i love that Christmas jumper
How lovely! Sounds like you are doing loads.
Nice one Santa ๐๐ ๐
Congratulations on your 39th not parkrun. I really love the photo , very festive indeed ๐๐
Fantastic picture Alan! Perhaps you should offer to train Hollie in the art of canicross and take her on some of your long walks or runs?!
Love the Christmas themed photo, well done. Happy running ๐ค
Glad you like the photo GH, I ran my 39th (not) parkrun this morning wearing what you see in the photo in light rain, I saw around 11 other runners.
This afternoon I took Holly the dog a walk, when I came home from the walk I changed back to my Christmas Santa Hat and Reindeer Christmas Jumper, I then asked Hollies owner if she could take a photo of me on my Smartphone with Holly, she took 2 photos, the one you see on my Smartphone and another on her Smartphone for her husband to look at, her husband has had a minor heart condition for year's and was in bed sleeping after having a operation the other day which I am happy to report was successful.
You're certainly keeping active through winter which is brilliant. I'd be a sweaty puddle running with all that on. Had shorts and strappy top for yesterday's 10k, mind you got funny looks from those I passed in puffy jackets and hats๐คฃ
What a great picture of you and Holly! You are very festive, especially with your lovely beard.
I am glad that you like the photo of me and Holly the dog, nice you like my beard, I have only had a beard for 6 years, I should have had it for far longer, by the way I always give a weather report for my running, this morning the temperature was +6C, no ice whatsoever, there was light rain, the forecast for the next week for the whole of the UK is mild (+10C) with further rain at times, doubtful if we will have a White Christmas this year, anyway as it says in the song, we can always dream of a White Christmas. ๐ ๐๐พ ๐๐คถ
Lovely photo, very festive. Now you just need reindeer antlers for Holly ๐ฆ
Well done on the run AlMorr! You look just like Santa with that beard! ๐
Love it, everyone is getting in the Christmas mood so well, lovely jumper ๐ค๐ฒ
Glad that you like my jumper, this morning on my run I saw many Christmas lights shining brightly in peoples gardens and in their homes, I left the house at sunrise in a very gloomy morning with light rain falling, so the lights were brilliant in the gloom, most people are now getting into a Christmas ๐คถ ๐ mood.
Holly should be wearing antlers
๐
Itโs official, Santa is a member of HU! Brilliant AlMorr ! ๐๐๐ And Holly is adorable. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
Brilliant cheekychipmunks, you and Dexy5 asked me especially to take a photo of myself in that Santa outfit, I thought to myself that I can't take a longer shot photo of myself so I will get my neighbour who is the owner of Holly the dog to take a photograph of me with Holly in it.
What a brilliant photo! You two look like the spirit of Christmas ๐๐ Holly's very lucky to have you around to take her out for walks every day, no wonder she loves you ๐ค well done on your 39th not park run ๐๐๐
Today on my run I was playing Christmas pop music from my Spotify Xmas ๐ playlist like Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea, Step into Christmas by Elton John, next week it will be from another Spotify playlist, Christmas Carols, not sure what it will be like running to Tunes like O Come O Come Emanuel, O Little Town of Bethlehem or Silent Night, not really suitable for running, but as it's less than a week before Christmas it doesn't really matter.
I've also been running to my Christmas playlist on Spotify but they're Christmas songs, it really makes me feel all Christmassy ๐ My HM plan has me running on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, so I'll follow suit and make another playlist with traditional Christmas carols for those days. As you say, even if they're not that suitable for running, it doesn't really matter, it's Christmas!๐๐ โ๏ธ
Boxing Day is a Saturday, if all goes to plan I will be running my 41st virtual parkrun, however, after a slap-up Christmas Dinner with a little wine the previous day I don't expect that run will be fast, I probably won't have ๐ถ music with me, instead I will set my metromone app at a low cadence and take my time running the route.
Fantastic! Perhaps Holly could pull your sleigh on Christmas Eve!๐
What a lovely photo - Santa ๐ ๐ผ and his seasonally named walk buddy Holly ๐ . A perfect Christmas pairing. Iโm sure she loves her walks with you
Glad you like the photo Delly-dot, Holly is 3 years old, born sometime in early October 2017, she cost her owner ยฃ1200, he bought Holly for his Autistic son, Holly arrived home on Christmas Eve of that year, my very first walk with her was when the owner of Holly asked me to take her a walk sometime during 2018, the walks are usually in the afternoon, however, on Christmas morning of 2018 and 2019 I have taken her a walk dressed as in the photograph.
How lovely that you walk her so often - a big help Iโm sure. Sheโs a beautiful girl. Enjoy your Christmas morning walk. I love my dog walks. Donโt know what Iโd do without them.
Great Christmas jumper and Santa hat picture Al, and with that beard you really look the part.
Holly looks lovely too. ๐
It was you and Cheekychipmunks that especially wanted to see me in the Santa hat and Reindeer Christmas Jumper when I mentioned that I would be running my 39th and 40th virtual parkrun on the two Saturdays before Christmas, I am glad that you like the photo and Holly as well. ๐ ๐๐คถ๐๐พ
Great run Al and fab photo!๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐ ๐ผ ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
You should have put some antlers on Holly, ๐ great photo though AlMorr or should I say Santa๐
Dear SantaWeโve all been very good.
Please grant us our wishes for 2021

My gift to you Heavyfoot for 2021 is for you to get a PB at 5K, 10K 10 miles and at every run you run you have a negative split, for you to run a sub 30 minute 5K, a sub 60 minute 10K and to run ten miles in 90 minutes or less, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a very happy running New Year.

Rebecca ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ช๐ป๐ป๐ป๐จโ๐ญ
Thanks Rebecca, I went a 10K walk this morning wearing my normal clothes, I saw several runners one of which I would say was running at sub 25 minute 5K pace, he was going like the wind.
Well you certainly look the part AlMorr. Happy Christmas running!
What a brilliant photo Al, that is a proper Christmassy jumper hat and beard combination. Lovely to see Holly too. It would have made my day to see someone running in that outfit๐ฅฐ
What a wonderful beard Al! You could use this photo as your Christmas card... just put a pair of antlers onto Holly .... ๐ฆ
Ho, ho ho Santa Al, brilliant picture, you could give Rudolph and crew a rest and run round with the presents this year!? ๐๐
๐nice Christmas jumper and Holly Christmas doggy
๐๐๐๐ how funny and a cheerful sight
Excellent outfit the festivities begin now.
Wow! Well done Al!... Great Photo!
You are Santa. I always wondered where you went in the summer. I knew it was somewhere up north!
Great pic and just what we all need some Christmas cheer and some runs!
Awesome, Santa Al!
Put a pair of Altras under the tree for me ๐๐
Congratulations on your 39th virtual parkrun๐๐ป Love the photo Santa ๐โ๏ธ๐โ๏ธ๐
