Always run on Christmas morning. Shakes out the beer from the night before.
Nothing major planned, but will hopefully get out for a couple of miles with the dog. Just enough to get my appetite going for lunch!
Always run on Christmas Day, santa hat on and a little jog out to clear the head before I start the cooking and get my first G&T down me! Chevin Chase on Boxing Day as well.
I generally sneak out whilst the girls are at church in the morning, and as long as I've done my veg-prepping duties I'm not missed.
A 1-hour run would get me over Wildbank trig to Lees Hill and back, with 5 minutes stops for a quietist quakerish moment at each.
A 2-3 hour run gets me further afield, over the Wilderness to marvel and meditate above Chew and Dovestones reservoirs from the rocks at Chew Hurdles or Stable Stones Brow, and a gentle return via Alphin and Harridge Pike and Wild Bank again. I must say, I fancy the long run tomorrow, the Wilderness must be damp by now - I better get peeling.
I'm thinking of cycling upto burbage in the morning and having a plod over the moor and along higger and the skyline. Might wander over stanage for a moment of wonder. anyone heading up that way?
If its chucking it down I might just head from the door upto oxstones or something. 8mile round trip ish
wasn't going to....but now.....off out mid-morning!
Never mind Christmas Day running..... :)

Had an hours run on the hills, pub for a pint, now dinner etc.
13.1 miles, 1.45, 5x5 hills, about 1,200 ft of up; think what this might have been equivalent to if I was still in the Lakes.
got out for 5 miles around and up Worcestershire Beacon with a total of about 1000ft of up.
I've also booked a hangover for tomorrow.....
Yep, somewhat groggy 13 odd miler. Lovely out.
Chest infection.... again :(
This was a quick one in the forest after a family walk as Jake has been recovering from a very bad cold,
We will be travelling to visit winter hill on the 27th from Germany and will be up on winter hill on the 28th before going to Nidderdale for a week,
Jakes Dad,

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Trot up Black Hill. Nice.
6 miles this morning on the road with the dog as I couldn't be bothered to bath her when I got home, my Santa hat got a few waves and a cheer which was good, antlers for the dog next year :thumbup:
10 miles on the roads at 5am this morning. Great, all alone and no one to be seen. No need to look left or right as the were no cars. Back home in time for shit and shower just as Kadi woke up. Rest of day has been hard work!!! Merry Christmas everyone.
Was over at parents' in Hadfield for couple of nights so 5.3 mile road run yesterday (flat first couple of miles/hilly for most of the rest)...oh and a 5.2 mile variation of Gravy Pud fell race route today, which was nice! :thumbup:
Nice. Gravy Pud (ish), clockwise, with link from my back door was my Xmas day run yesterday. Boxing day run today was 2 hrs on Bleaklow.Quote:

Lovely Christmas run along the Ure with Stolly and Haz and I even had a dip (see Stolly's pic). Today's run was somewhat shorter followed by a walk with 5 dogs (a collie, two pointer crosses, a collie cross and a leonberger!) and 7 humans.
Nice, love the pic. Were the 7 humans all cross as well? Must have been hard work if so.Quote:

I managed to get 3 runs in. Christmas Eve/Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Set me up nicely for all the big meals to follow. About 20m and 4200' in total. Christmas day I met about 24 sheep, 7 Canada Geese and 4 humans :D
