 | Running 1:38:00 [3] 20 km (4:54 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Christmas card delivery run. After a bit of deliberation, I decided on a route which went: Alex & Rach, Dave & Kathy, Nick Lightfoot, Gareth & Kelly, Ricky & Kim, Dave & Jen, Al & Jaimie, Helen & Phil, Andy & Louise, Rob & Clare, Oli & Jenny, home. Route here.
Under estimated slightly how long this was going to take, but on a positive note my legs were still feeling strong at the end. This is the first weekend since the first weekend of October that I've not done a race of some description (orienteering / road / XC) and it feels good! |

| Running 47:00 [3] 9 km (5:13 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Torana |
| Early morning cruise round Rivelin before catching a train to London. Cracking morning for it and it blew away the cobwebs of last nights beer quite nicely. Even bumped into Phil, Helen and Izzy in Bole Hills.
If I was a car thief I would have had a field day. Loads of people leaving their cars running to defrost and then going back in the house. |

| When we arrived in London we headed straight over to the Adelphi theatre to try and get some return tickets for the matinee performance of Joseph. We got lucky, and it was excellent. |

| Rivelin loop with my headlamp on. Cold, icy and a bit misty down in the valley but everything was nice and sparkly because of the frost. Actually felt like I could run tonight which was a big bonus after the last few days.
I think I have been living with Neil too long and his anger is starting to rub off on me. An event that would normally have mildly irritated me but not got me wound up, tonight led to me giving a load of abuse to a car driver. Oh dear. |
Wednesday Dec 12 |
| Running 55:00 [3] 11 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Run on the roads. Legs still not right, but getting less stiff. Proper cold. |
Tuesday Dec 11 |
| Running 52:00 [3] 10 km (5:12 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| No track tonight, got a busy week with lots on so taking the opportunity for an easy one before hopefully a couple of big weeks over the Christmas break. Rich has got the lurgy so want to try and avoid getting that too.
Ran home from work, via some shops to get the last part of my Dads Christmas present. Shins and the inside of my legs still stiff from football on Sunday, but easing off by the end. |
