Post Turkey Trot

Phew - Christmas is over with for another year. Trained the kids into not coming down till at least 8AM. Was about one nanosecond after 8 when they went downstairs. We knew it wasn't going to be much after 8 when we heard the countdown coming from their bedrooms. They were really please with their presents, though I think they are more pleased with my present (PS2) than anything else, don't think I've had a go on it yet!

MrsW turned in her usual star performance in the kitchen, bringing the Christmas Lunch together like clockwork.

She even prodded me into getting out the door this morning. I needed a prod, not quite with it this morning. Had a good run all the same, one of these comfortable runs that are fun to do, fast enough to have the "I'm running quickly" feeling without been so fast that you start thinking "Why am I doing this".

Bit odd out and about, despite it being 9:30 it was very quiet even by the main road. Everyone was probably nursing hangovers or indegestion.

Mile	Pace	HR

3	8:02	156
4	7:46	158
5	7:38	171- yes it is an uphill finish
5.14	1:00(7:03)	180 - I did say it was an uphill finish
41:07	8:00	158

The run ended up reminding me why I run, because I enjoy it!!!
