Just checked myasics plan and I'm due an 8k build-up run. That'll do nicely. Worth a mince pie that is!

Definitely up for one. Probably Christmas or Boxing Day - might be both, depending how generous Santa is with things that need testing out - running related ones and cake & alcohol 😀

Depending on how frosty it is (don't want to slip and fall over) I might run Christmas Eve whilst my father and husband are at church - maybe Boxing Day, too.

I'm in, I love running on Christmas Day and I will be out Boxing Day too and New Year's Day.... I love running around Christmas so I can eat more and it just feels so good to be outside and not at work!!!!

Count me in. I am planning a run along South Shields beach on Christmas morning. Good opportunity to clear my head before the Christmas mayhem begins.

GoogleMe profile image
GoogleMeGraduate in reply to Annie711

Oooh, how lovely. Discovered how beautiful that beach is this Summer when we had to schlep our son a long way to find an educational psychologist to assess and report on him. Thought then how glorious it would be to run on. Enjoy!

Anniemurph profile image
AnniemurphGraduate

Yes, please count me in! I've run on Christmas Day and New Year's Day since I started running, which must mean that the weather has been kind for the last three years - fingers crossed again! Oh, and last year I ran on NYD in my skeleton tights, and they nearly fell down - oops! :D

Happy running, everyone!

Hope to be doing park run with my family on Boxing Day. Tho it will be a very slow run aka walk as a. I'm injured and b. It'll be a struggle to get my son to walk fast that far let alone run - he has severe learning difficulties/ASD and a VERY short attention span !! But I really want us to do it as a family.

So don't think it will count as a 'run' but we will be out there 😀

Golddust profile image
GolddustGraduate

Yes count me in , planning a fun run on Boxing day for charity, 4 miles I think :)

AdamB profile image
AdamBGraduate

Count me in, please. Will be running on Boxing Day at parkrun, but I'm thinking of sneaking an extra run in on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Running4MyWife profile image
Running4MyWife

I'm IN.. 12/24 Christmas Eve,,, Week 6, Day 2 (modified time extension). 12/26 Day After Christmas Week 7, Day 1. This will be my "On Location" training time. I will be running the course for my first 5 K.

This is kinda intimidating. But Laura will be with me, I'll be OK. :)

GoogleMe profile image

I am going to give it a go - will be a challenge to fit it in so I am going to try to take the first opportunity.

Irishprincess profile image

I'm in for the 26th because that is an extra celebration for me. On Boxing Day two years ago I decided to get out of bed and run outside for the first time after graduating. I've been outside since!
