Running on Christmas morning - who'd have thought it!

Certainly not me if you had asked me 6 months ago! Had no real intention of running today - thought Boxing Day was more realistic. However the cat woke me just after 6 and by 6.30 I had decided to go. So glad that I did ๐Ÿ˜ The last of the stars were still out when I set off followed by the most glorious sunrise (haven't yet mastered taking photos and running - too much coordination involved ๐Ÿ˜‚) Just an easy short run but felt so good even when I stepped into an icy frozen puddle. And to top it off, I managed a steady pace throughout - big achievement for me ๐ŸŽ–๏ธ

Merry Christmas everyone ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽŠ

Merry Christmas to you GG12, that was a very pleasant Christmas Day early morning run for you, lovely to see the sun rise around 8.40 am at this time of the year, enjoy the rest of Christmas Day.

I went out as well and a lovely bright morning and 5k. Roads really quiet and saw others running as well. Never thought I would be motivated to get out there but glad I did.

Spontaneity rules! Sounds absolutely magical. I hope youโ€™ve rewarded your cat for their helpful prompting!! ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

My cat happily spent Christmas day over-indulging on Dreamies and turkey ๐Ÿฑ Funnily enough, no early start for her this morning ๐Ÿ˜
