Ho, ho ho! (Hurry up Santa it is nearly Christmas!)

[skysue16]

Ran in a 2 mile Santa Dash last Saturday - what fun (well apart from the hilly start which was more huff, puff than ho ho!). Nearly 250 Santas of all ages, what an amazing sight. Mulled wine, hot chocolate and naughty sweet treats at the end. All in a good cause too - the local Mountain rescue team, which hubby is a part of. In the photo I'm behind 1213 with the black gloves!

Oh, just seen results list which says I came 82nd (pleased with that!). A year ago when I started C25k I could just about run for a minute - what a brilliant programme. Best of luck to everyone starting out - you can do it!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all you lovely people on this forum

Oh Sue, that is just brilliant! Well done you, and what a lovely photo, again! This time with lots of Santas! Makes me feel all Christmassy. Have a wonderful Christmas time! x

Thanks Flossie, it was a great event and so well supported. I hope you are feeling a bit better, how long will you be on IC? Hope you have a lovely Christmas.

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to skysue16]

Three weeks then possibly another three. Not letting it get me down though, just thinking what amazing pecs I'm going to have by the end! 💪🏻💪🏻😂😂

Brilliant photo ! Course looks tough. Apart form yourself , nice to see a lot of youngsters taking part !

[skysue16 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It was great to see so many young people - some were very speedy! I was definitely one of the oldest, a 'veteran' according to the codes next to my name..... (not sure about that!)

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to skysue16]

Couldn't be a veteran, you haven't got a beard! 😂

[davelinks Graduate]

Great photo, well done! A distinct lack of beards though 😁 An easier section of the course going downhill..😊

[skysue16 Graduate in reply to davelinks]

Yes, I decided against a beard - definitely get too hot with one of those, although the hat was great for keeping my ears warm!

I prefer mature ! I hate being called "Veteran" . Associate with being "Old" Cars called "Old bangers" etc.

Anyway it's all relative. I may be 60 on the outside but after running I'm sure there is an 18 year old desperately trying to escape from it !!

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yup, mature, like wine. Though I think my friends would call me immature most of the time! LOL 😂

[davelinks Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Same with me! Wer'e not old bangers yet!😁

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to davelinks]

Classic peeps, me thinks. Classic and classy! 😉

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

That looked like a fun run Sue.😄

Happy christmas to you too.x

[skysue16 Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thanks Jan, hope things are going well for you. Have lovely time over Christmas - any runs planned?

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate in reply to skysue16]

Im on the ic at the mo with a chest cough and can't seem to shake it off.

I'm planning to start the new 10k plan with ju_ju in the new year.x

[skysue16 Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon. Yes, that 10k plan sounds good I think I am follow it too - need to keep the motivation up!
