Oh so busy at Christmas!!!

Aaaargh I do love this time of year but this is my first running Christmas and I am finding it so hard to get in runs or indeed any exercise in amongst the seasonal faffing.

Haven't done anything at all for the last 3 days since my last 5k run, had hoped that it would happen today but once again to much to do. Thankfully it's only once a year!!!. Will at least manage to get on the bike later and am determined to get a solid 5k tomorrow.

Good luck to all you Christmas runners out there and try to fit in those runs!!! 🎅👍🎄

I share that feeling. I cleared W8R1 on Monday but haven’t been able to get to R2 - but def going to clear it tomorrow morning before Christmas prep/cookathon begins. 👍👍

This is my first running Christmas too. I was amazed this week that one of my priorities on a pre Christmas day off was to make sure I did a short run. It was very festive with some Christmas music in my ears. And just back today from a very festive Parkrun (where I discovered that reindeer antlers are not very aerodynamic!) Little and often is the key 😊

You are allowed a rest sometimes (it’s encouraged in fact)!

I’ve ran 3 times a week since I started c25k in July and decided this was a rest week from running.

So don’t fret if you don’t get the run in, call it a recovery period!
