I did it :) 30 minutes, 4k, after a weekend and morning of massive overeating. I felt heavy, I had cramps, but I did it. Despite being followed by and barked at by local dogs (a bit scary). The air was nice and clear, quite fresh but not freezing thanks to temporary warmer weather :)

Happy running!

Sounds like fun ! Be proud of yourself. After all that food, a lot of people would have found an excuse not to bother 😄

I had to persuade my mum not to give me another meal and let me have no food for at least 2 hours, so I would be able to run without petrifying fear of loosing this food on random spot of sideroad. Believe me, it wasn't easy!

That’s what Mums are for - undermining all your grown up resolutions in the nicest possible way 😄

Very well said ;D

Well done for getting out there and avoiding the dogs IgaT! I hope you had a good journey, glad to hear the weather is a bit better than expected for you.

I get the feeling boated running could become a common theme on the forum over the festive period... Good to see you're getting some endurance training in already 😀

I hope this was one of the last unlimited eating. I will try tomorrow to run, but my belly is in pain. Festive meals done early.

Wow! It's fantastic! Look at yourself! 30 minutes run in December! The Polish village was the right place for you!

With a full stomach! Huh! I can not run after breakfast.

You did not give it up! Absolutely fantastic! Big congratulations!!!
