Holy moly... I’m gonna have to run that next year 😂😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yes, but think of all presents you will get.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Gonna be noisy too with all the pipes and drums... and what I’m going to do with 42 swans, 42 geese, 36 calling birds, 30 hens, 22 doves and 12 partridges I don’t know!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Perhaps you could share them with Miss UNM 🎄🎅

May I wish you and your daughter a very happy Christmas and a happy running 2019.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

She’d eat them I guess 😂

Thanks... have a cool Yule

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

She’ll be in trouble if she eats the swans - only the queen is allowed to do that ! Maybe you could start a bird sanctuary 😄

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

Personally I’d tell my true love to stop wasting time and money on shopping for useless gifts and come and be my running buddy instead ! Excellent work, AlMorr ⭐️😄

To be honest with you BCK I wasn't really all that original with that post regarding the 12K's of Christmas, perhaps the stats at the end of the song are the most interesting part, 78 kilometers she ran altogether and got 364 gifts.

Last Christmas (not the song by Wham ) the Scottish Government made out several questions for Primary School children to do with a Christmas theme over the Xmas holidays, one of the questions was "how many gifts were given to my truelove in the song ''The Twelve days of Christmas?" "' I worked the answer out and got the correct answer the third time, hence the 364. I just thought for a little fun to make it the 12 K's of Christmas. If you have any spare time you can add in some other gifts that a runners true love might give to the tune 🎶🎵 of The 12 days of Christmas. 😊 🏃 🎶🎵

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Interesting idea. You could run quite a long way while singing that from end to end 😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Yes, perhaps 12K

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Now that really is a challenge !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Never guess what, that song "Keep on Running" by The Spencer Davis Group " which I requested to be on Jancanrun's birthday songs Spotify list has just been played on The radio station" The Scottish Sun s Greatest hits." if you have Android or Spotify download that list and run to them, all the songs are great.
