EVENTS! EVENTS! TELL US ABOUT YOUR DECEMBER (2021) RACES 🥳🏅❄️

[linda9389]

Hello you fabulous runners!

Well, November was a fabulous month for races! There were so many miles covered and much shiny bling on show and we loved reading all the brilliant run reports too 🙂 All in all, a busy month for running!

So now we head to December. The amazing TailChaser will hit the mid-point of her challenge, running her third of five 10K races in The Winter Series.

So, who else has a race in December? Anyone heading out for a Pudding race or a Santa dash perhaps? Tell us in the comments and give us the date and a link to the website if you can. We’ll then add you to our list and give you a SHOUT-OUT just before your big day!

Happy training everyone!

Nothing on in December (I had planned a race on 5 Dec but I'm not going to be able to do that as my husband is finishing his Masters). But I'm planning lots of races for next year once he is all done! Currently thinking about giving myself a new distance to aim for with a 30k trail run in May.

Ooh! That sounds fun!

[misswobble Marathon]

I should be doing my hometown 10k but I’m wondering whether to bother. The coffee is truly vile. The worst ever, and there’s no food except burgers, and my husband said he wouldn’t recommend those either, and he’s not remotely fussy. No cake either ☹️ Hmm 🤔. On the plus side there will be a shoe sale - and they do the whole range at knock-down prices so I might just go for that and support the runners

I might think differently once my toes heal up 🙂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to misswobble]

😍😍😍 speedy toe healing !!!

[misswobble Marathon]

Thank you. My left big toe aaaagh 😬. I’ve used a bag of Epsom salts this week. Now onto the bag of Dead Sea stuff. It’s a game innit ☺️

I’ve had a week off but going to leave it a bit longer. Walking the dog though so not completely idle 🙂🐶. It’s really icy out there so I’m not exactly clamouring to run 🙂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Ouch!

[RunWillie Metric Marathon]

No races planned for me. I’ve pushed pause on my HM plan as it took me 1hr45mins to run 8miles last week in the searing heat! 😎

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to RunWillie]

Oh golly, that's such a far cry from our snow and sub zero temps! Sounds like a good call

[RunWillie Metric Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Here’s a photo from today’s run to warm you all up!

5am starts from next week 😴

[misswobble Marathon]

Oh how balmy 😀😎. Fab-u-lous!

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

I nearly signed up for a santa run but to be honest I couldn't face buying another costume... you see I've started back teaching and since September we've had wear red, wear yellow, wear Welsh colours, pumpkin day, pyjama children in need day, now next week it's elf run day 🤣 I will be supervising not running tho!!! Oh and of course Christmas jumper day 😅

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Me!!! I have The Westonbirt House Christmas 10K on 12 December. I use to do these every year as the bling is fabulous but needless to say I haven’t been for a few years. I’m soooooo looking forward to it!

Happy training everyone else who’s got a race 🥳🏅

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Fabulous! I remember looking at this! Bon courage!!!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda 👍

[Nikasa777 Ultramarathon]

Just catching up with a few posts as I’ve not been well (sinus head cold) I’ve got 1 run planned for December - 10k Darklink.

29th December

10k run up the Downslink from Shoreham to Bramber, and back, an evening run, so great to test out the head torch I’ve asked Santa for for Christmas 😉

Organised by Sussex trail events.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Nikasa777]

Oooh, that sounds exciting - I will add it to the list! Hope you're feeling much better.

[Katnap Marathon]

If I recover and get off the IC I'll be joining Tailchaser on a 10k December 27th

🐱 Xmas Katnap 🐱

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Katnap]

Oh dear! Speedy healing - will add you to the list

[Katnap Marathon in reply to linda9389]

[TailChaser Marathon]

Hello Linda! I suddenly thought today, it’s December, there must be another run request post!! Yes, two weeks to go to the 3rd Winter Series race (27th). Anti clockwise again. A good way to burn off the Christmas excesses. If I don’t overdo it then maybe I can get a few places further up the leader board? 😁

I’m really hoping that Katnap will be joining me rather than marshalling this time but he’s injured so we’re keeping everything crossed 🤞🤞🤞

Good luck to everyone else on their December excursions 👍👏👏👏

(And then I saw he’d replied above 🤣🤣)

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

.... and ..... somehow, as if by magic, i already have you on the list 😍All the best to Katnap, speedy healing 🤞
