Post Christmas Run

[Lifewithoutthecouch]

I hope everyone had a fab Christmas! I certainly did :). I ventured out into the early morning sunshine for the Christmas run and found a lot of people were up and in a really good mood. The addition of cheesy Christmas songs made the run that much more fun and I didn't feel guilty later on when I had that extra few Champagne cocktails

I took an extra day off from running after the Christmas feast and I really felt it- I started getting itchy for the pavement. I am happy to say that this running thing is most definitely a part of my life now

Happy running

Well done you!! It's's a lovely thought that we're ahead of all the post-christmas dieters/get-fitters lol...

I know we started our journey at around the same time but I'm afraid it's taking me a lot longer to complete the programme. I did achieve one of my goals by going for a run with my daughter on Christmas Day and not getting left behind, that woundn't have been possible - or even probable (!) a few months ago. Best wishes for the new year, Jan620

Hi Jan620! Don't feel too bad about going at your own pace- the thing to remember is that you are doing it! Well done on running on Christmas Day Happy New Year and I look forward to you running right past the finish line soon

well done! I didn't make it for a christmas run, but I did manage one 2 days ago and my daughter did her first parkrun with me today (my second), so back on my feet after all the food/drink

Am hoping to do the new years run too

Happy soon to be New Year to you!!! Great job in getting some running in after Christmas! We ran, but it was slow going...way too many sweets and spirits! I agree with Jan, its nice to know we are all getting back on track and ahead of those waiting for the New Year! Wishing you a blessed and running-filled 2013!!! Gayle

Beautifully done, Life!! Having running as a definite part of our lives is quite impressive considering it wasn't that long ago that many of us were struggling to run nonstop for a single minute!!

Happy New Year and the very best wishes to you!!

Keep Running!!

Thanks Steve! I agree- it is great to be able to say that running is a part of my life rather than just a NY resolution! It HAS been accomplished

Happy New Year
