Deck the runs with boughs of holly, Fa-la-la-la-la

Lovely run today! The forecast was for wind and rain but I got out while it was still grey but dry and pleasant for running. I hadn’t been out for a whole week but I had done lots of Pilates and walking so I allowed myself to move on to run 1 of week4. I thought the 5 minute runs might feel harder but was pleased to find my legs just kept going.

Christmas is coming and I know the next couple of weeks will be tricky but I really want to keep things going. Not to be too ambitious but 2 runs a week would be a good aim.

Added a photo of my holly wreath . On my warm down walk after my run last Sunday I collected a few snippets of holly (with berries) and fir branches. Some rosemary from the garden and a £3 wreath base from Dunelm and hey presto! A genuine C25K decoration 😃

Well done for getting out there and dodging the raindrops. I love your wreath, especially the idea of using rosemary. We have a very overgrown bush in the garden so I see a bout of creativity heading my way.

As for the holly berries, I have been known to improvise with red play-doh 🤓
