The 12 Runs of Christmas part 3

[Dexy5]

Hoorah! It’s Christmas Day and I have completed the Great Run Solo challenge to gain this beautiful Christmas tree decoration. Yes I got the perfect penguin medal. I had to run 30 miles by Christmas Day to be Tree-mendous! 🌲

I have also managed to complete all the challenges on the Naughty and Nice List (with the support of UptheStanley). So my last 4 runs went like this:

22 Dec. I was a good elf and delivered Christmas cards on a run. ✅ 1.1 km run

23 Dec. It was parkrun day so I dressed up in my reindeer T-shirt and put my antlers on to run 5km. I gave some running gifts to some special friends ✅ and we had a lovely breakfast at the restaurant at the start of our old parkrun start. 5km

24 Dec. Christmas Eve, so UTS and I went to RunWalkLocal. ✅ . We ran the 2km route and then headed for the footpath over the main road to complete some hill sprints 😱✅

12th run completed but 30 miles not yet achieved.

25 Dec. Christmas Day parkrun and I spied with my little eye and saw a Santa, a Snowman and a Reindeer (amongst the many other fancy dress outfits) ✅. 13th run of Christmas and 5k.

31 miles done, and oh what fun it was. Thank you for joining me on my journey.

Now off to visit family, so I won’t be on here or running for a few days. Have fun everyone.

HUGE well done to you.... have a super day today xxx

[Shake-and-run Graduate10]

well done Dexy, a tree-mendous effort indeed! A great penguin medal to boot. My challenge was completed on Christmas Day too. My total mileage was 42 miles (so my certificate says I am also tree-mendous!!) but I was not so good on the naughty/nice list, still a few things missing of that (Hill reps, not on your Nelly!) My medal is the elf!

Elf medal and protein bar

Well done Shakes. There’s no doubt your half marathon is definitely more tree-mendous! I love your elf decoration. I’m certainly not going to be doing RED - I do like my rest days between runs.

That will have been fun for you Dexy5, but also a lot of effort. Party time 🥳🥂
