Lol mulbs! It didn't do any good though, I couldn't get rid of the fly! I wondered for the next half mile how many flies the average runners eats in a year.

Had a headache all afternoon but it's slowly going I think. Mr Lemon's mate D is visiting. They went to school together, and I can just imagine them mucking about in the back of the class. We've started on the food I have bought in for Christmas, tesco cheese straws, nom nom.

Alpen I hope you are on the mend. I am now looking at whether I can feasibly get to 600 miles before the end of the year. A target like that might get me off my butt and out of the door, so I will give it a go.

I did think that mulbs!

I have created a SAP virtual 5 mile series for next year, hopefully this link will take you to January's event
http://www.fetcheveryone.com/viewracedetails.php?id=680224
If not its on my race portfolio if you can see that, it's called SAP thread virtual 5 mile series. One a month for next year and I randomly picked the penultimate weekend of each month. I think some folks also wanted the 10 mile series to continue so I will add that in at some stage. We also need the SAP mile back, maybe our Womble will pop in for that one. I fancied getting a race in my portfolio for next month so got the 5 mile series booked in. :-)

Not sure how long this lurgy's going to take to filter through. :-P

2015 has seen us do many more events, the most in the last 3 years - - but no where nr the old 55 events in a year that did

but they are now slow - but taking part, feeling good and yes proud

I would recommend it to anyone to keep fit in their own way, without having to push any pace - and not be worrying about world records or any damned thing

Hi all, hope your all well other than the fly eating, hangovers and pesky colds.

Today saw me do my last event of 2015, pieathlon a 6km trail race!! My hubby and my friend wrapped me Christmas paper for my outfit accompanied by a Christmas pudding and buddy the elf! It was frosty, really muddy and very hilly! Not terrain made for me, I found it really tough but it's done. My breathing is awful at the minute :( I had a cold about 6 weeks ago and I'm still really wheezy from it :( it made running in the cold incredibly difficult. I have mad a docs appointment but don't know if they will do anything..... Can't get in until the 21st unless I can go at dome silly time gggrrrr 😡😡😳😫

Hi everyone. My running has been better of late. I've lowered the distance and the speed has picked up. This has also led to a return of my mojo. Hopefully I shall be able to lengthen a few runs in the New Year.

Thanks for setting up the SAP 5 miles, L10

Nut, well done for getting round that. I hope your cold/lurgy trots off soon, shame you can't get in the doc's sooner. Get well soon. :(

Uni, nice to see you. :) I guess it's the time of year if you mojo has been a bit awol lately.

At least at this time of year, we can get out and run. I hate the 2 week period over the holidays when the country grinds to a halt and the classes are seriously curtailed at the gym.
My lurgy is subsiding now and I hope to get out tomorrow morning for my first run for a week. It'll be my 500 one so I might go down the seafront so I can take a nice photo to mark the occassion.
