Good one Buddy, I like that, by the way I am still hoping to run at Drumpellier this Saturday, if I do I will be wearing my reindeer jumper and a Santa red hat, I got a email from the Vitality Parkrun people who want me to run a PB this Saturday, ha, maybe. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Talking about the 12 Days of Christmas I suggest that everyone runs a 5K on the 5th day of Christmas which is the 29th December, I was also thinking of running a 10K on the 10th day of Christmas which is the 3rd January

Thank you lexi6, as I post this to you its 7.50pm on Christmas Eve where I am, 8.50am on Christmas Day where you are, still over 4 hours until Santa delivers my presents down the chimney, ha, no snow, there might be a slight frost tonight, but generally the weather for Xmas Day in the UK is to be dry and not too cold.

Hi TailChaser, that did NOT apply to me and Buddy34 this morning, it was very pleasant running today, dry, just a few puddles, so while I am here, may I wish you all the best for the season ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿคถ

I think we must have your weather down south then Al! Like many others, our parkrun was cancelled today and I bumped into many parkrunners at the gym this morning.

Thank you for your Christmas wishes Al, the same to you and yours ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿผ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ˜Š

AlMorrAmbassadorGraduateโ€ข in reply toJerichomile

I have been making a excuse regarding my time at parkrun this morning, it was almost two minutes slower than my PB, I was wearing a rather heavy Christmas reindeer jumper, I was very warm running in it and slowed me down a little, OK, excuses, excuses, anyway, I wish you Jerichomile and your family a very happy and prosperous Christmas ๐Ÿคถ ๐ŸŽ„.

I'm afraid for me it's ....๐ŸŽตAway on the IC, no runs are in sight, I'm hoping the doctor will help with my plight'๐ŸŽต๐Ÿ™„

How about Good King Wencesles ran out on the speed run challenge...

Merry Christmas Al, enjoy your runs!๐ŸŽ„

Yes, Away in a Manger is not my favourite Christmas Song, the reason for that is as a little boy I had to sing it around Christmas time everywhere I went, including visiting all my 13 *aunts and uncles homes and even as late as New Years Day. they asked me to sing it while my sister accompied me playing the piano. ๐ŸŽถ All that stopped when I was about 7 years old.

I wish you Bluebirdrunner a very Merry Christmas and a happy running New Year,

Sorry if you are on the IC, if so I hope it won't be too long.

*My mother was one of 7 children, my father was one of 6 children hence all the aunts and uncles.

Not what you're looking for?
