Top quality selfie there! Great entry into the challenge. Noted and recorded! 🎄

[drl212 Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Thanks! I tend not to post selfies publicly since I work in a school/uni system.

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to drl212]

Same here! I think the most people have seen of my face is a bit of my glasses!

[Cmoi Graduate10]

I had to look twice there drl212 , I thought it was MissUnderstanding 's original post as yours has the same title and duplicate content! Please tell me you're not going to do the same for all the advent runs, it'll make the search function explode in a shower of glitter and pine needles!! 💥🎄🌟

[drl212 Graduate10 in reply to Cmoi]

I’ll keep adding my runs below this one. I’ll change my header to avoid all the ‘glitter and pine needles’.

XXXXX - 5) Follow the star: run at night or spot a star decoration (21 Dec - 5K Walk/Run)

I'm not much of a night-time runner and since I'm slowly coming back, I thought I would go for the star, instead. Several of my fellow volunteers at Oxford parkrun had these on Saturday and I just had to have one for Christmas Day.

Thanks MissUnderstanding for the Advent Challenge. I'm doubting we'll have snow in London before Christmas or if I'll spy a robin and successfully photograph it. But should there be a Christmas miracle, I'll be back...
