Christmas run

Yesterday was Christmas Day, I awoke early as I do every day. My son who lives at home was out partying Christmas Eve, and would not be up for hours. My other son was not coming till lunch time. What to do? Lunch was prepped, I know, I'll go for a run. Hubby walked the dog and I went for a run through the quiet streets. It was a cool and not raining (for a change). There were very few lights on and as I ran around the town I saw only 5 people, all dog walkers. I wished them all merry Christmas, and all but one replied. It's ages since I have had a lone run. It felt quick, but was average. 5.7 miles in a 59 mins.
I have never run Christmas Day before, I really enjoyed it and recommend it.
Merry Christmas everybody.

Catch up

So what have I been up to? Loads as usual. Outlaw was amazing. I still havent blogged it as I gant really put it into words yet. I completed it in 15:15:24.  2 days later I completed the club championship 6 mile race (10 mins slower than usual but I ran it all).
The next week was spent helping to set up the NYPTri annual Black Sheep Olympic Tri which I competed in after leading tje swimmers into the water with my Olympic Torch. I then competed, shaving 6 mins off last year.
My proudest moment was when my husband competed the tri. His first in under 3 hrs.
We then recieved a phonecall informing us that we were to be grandparents.
I did Jarrogate 10 km and was in St Wifreds day parade with the drama group before going on holiday in the caravan.
We watched the Olympics whilst on holiday.
Also my body finally told me to stop. My back went whilst on holiday abd stopped me running for 4 days. But I walked miles instead.
In September I supported my hubby in his second Tri at Roundhay Park Leeds. What a great day. I was so proud. A week later I ran. The Great North run. I giggled when I saw I was on the front of the magazine and on the certificates and website. I didnt quite achieve sub 2 hrs. I was 12 seconds over. I ran the Round Ripon Ultra again at the beginning of October I had the honour to run the most of it with John @runr795. A wonderful man who supported me at Outlaw and supports me online.
At the end of October I set off with friends to Dublin for the marathon. It was hbby and Annettes first, Vicky and Andys second this year and my 7th, 3rd this year. We had a right laugh and we are all planning further matathons. 6 days later I did the Guy Fawkes 10. A hilly local 10 mile race and the next day I dressed in a toga to run the 5km Gun Powder plod in York.
2 weeks later (with an injured foot and knee from a fall) I did a LDWA event. The 23 mile Wensleydale Wedge. Iyt was freezing and muddy with stunning views.
A fortnight ago I wore a Christmas pudding hat for the Percy Pud 10 km race in freezing temperatures and finally. Today I ran the Loftus Poultry Run. 8 miles of mud lanes and hills. I did it as part.of a group. We were elves and a Christmas pudding. We stopped to regroup. We stopped to take pics and all finished laughing in 1 hr 26 mins.
We then drove over the moors to York to pick stuff up from Sweat shop. We were still dressed up which caused some funny looks. That was exactly it It was funny. The whole day.
