🎄🏃‍♀️🎄 Happy Christmas! Who’s running on Christmas Day? 🎄🏃‍♀️🎄

[MissUnderstanding]

🎄🎄🎄 Nadolig Llawen/Merry Christmas Bridge Team! Hope the holiday brings you joy in many forms, be that rest, runs or running kit from Father Christmas!

One of my favourite Christmas traditions is now a run on Christmas Day. It’s such a lovely refuge from all the craziness-thirty minutes of peace just for me. This year it might have to be a walk (still recovering from flu) but I’m hoping to sneak in a few little jogettes.

Anyone else planning on getting a Christmas run in? Maybe even at parkrun?

Have a wonderful day whatever’s on your plan! 🎄🎄🎄

I will be doing at least 5km tomorrow. It will lessen the guilt after I stuff my face with turkey!

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

Ooh enjoy!! Both the run and the guilt-free stuffing!!!

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Done! Mince pie incoming 😋 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️

I wish you a very happy Christmas MissUnderstanding , I am the opposite of you regarding runs and exercises on Christmas Day, I only go a short walk with my neighbours dog Holly on Christmas Day, I don't do any running, or the other exercises I do on most other days, I ran this morning and will run on Boxing Day, this morning I ran a short 3K around the park near to where I live, on Thursday I intend to rerun run 2 of week 9 of C25K on the exact route I ran it on the 16th June 2018, so Christmas Day for me is a complete rest day , may I wish you and yours the best wishes of the season.🎄✅🍰

We will be heading an hour up the road to run Blyth Links Parkrun 🎅🎄 Merry Christmas to you MissUnderstanding and all of our friends on here 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to GTFC]

Enjoy your parkrun both. The only one close to me this morning is Great Yarmouth and I'm not up to that one, even at a walk, I'm cooking later it wouldn't do if I was sleeping for the rest of the day, happy Christmas from me 🎄⛄🎁⛄🎄

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to GTFC]

Hope it was fun! Christmas parkrun sounds like a wonderful way to kick off Christmas Day! Have a wonderful celebration 🎄

🍏My first Park Run and my C25K training all in Blyth along those beautiful sand dunes, beach huts and beside the sea! Wonderful Memories 🎄❤️

[GTFC Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

Really enjoyed it Annieapple Newbiggin was wonderful too. We've only a few more and we have ticked off all the Parkruns in the North East. Enjoyed every single one of them.

Last year was Worthing parkrun on Christmas day, so different this year but I'll head out for a short run as soon as it gets light, happy Christmas 🎄🎁🎄🎁

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Hope it’s been a lovely day for you SueAppleRun whether it’s been run or relax. Happy Christmas! 🎄

It has thanks, nice walk along the beach with children and we all cooked part of dinner and put it all together to eat as a family. Hope you've had a great day MissU

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Week7]

That’s amazing!!! I didn’t run but MrU and I went for a 40 minute walk which was lovely. No espresso martinis but mulled wine hit the spot! I might run tomorrow. Hooray!

[Yesletsgo Administrator Graduate10]

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Yesletsgo]

Fantastic! Enjoy-especially the smug feeling of having run today! Happy Christmas 🎄

[drl212 Graduate10]

I'm off to Rickmansworth to volunteer and walk/run for the parkrun.

This is my #10 milestone and #17 volunteering.

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to drl212]

Fantastic! Sound like a super parkrun! Volunteering is a great thing to do

[aliboo70 Graduate10]

I did Medina parkrun today at home, met a lovely forum friend there too who I haven't seen in while too! Was welcome relief after a week worrying about my Dad who's still in Hospital after an infection and fall, luckily he's much better today. So daily visits til he's let out . He enjoyed seeing my parkrun photos 😁

Parkrun today in fancy dress !

[Annieapple in reply to aliboo70]

🍏Hope he’s soon ready for discharge. Glad it was a fun day for you. X

[aliboo70 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

Thankyou Annieapple xxx

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to aliboo70]

That looks like such a lovely park run. Running. Is so good for headspace when there are tough things going on. Sending recovery wishes for your dad and hugs to you ❤️

[aliboo70 Graduate10 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Thankyou 😁xxx

After driving late on Christmas Eve (loading the car was very fiddly) and not getting to bed until 4am, I was in no fit state to run on Christmas Day itself. I was also required for various tasks during the day.

I did get a little run in this morning (just ­­– it was 11.45am) to work off a little of the gluttony of the evening before. It was 'orrible out: damp and raw, with fog in the area.

PS. The prefab sprouts were just as disgusting as normal ones.

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

I think a fair few of us will be doing glutton runs over the next few days!!! The weather is rhe same here-it looks like the set of a horror film. Let’s hope we get some winter sun!
