Day: Six
Distance: 9.2km
Time: 57.24 secs
So much for taking it easy.
I'd agreed to go for a Christmas morning run with my brother-in-law Andy on the proviso that we took it easy. My interpretation of an easy run was 30 minutes on pavements/roads that had thawed out. Andy had other ideas.
Just over 9 kilometres in an hour may sound quite slow but our run took us over still icy pavements, across frozen fields and through woods where the snow was so compacted that we'd have been better off wearing ice skates instead of trainers. We would have made for a comical sight, but luckily most sensible people were still indoors shaking off a hangover, opening presents or putting the turkey in the oven.
I admit, it seems pretty weird to go for a run on Christmas day but I really enjoyed this run and it certainly made a change from the over indulgence more commonly associated with the festive period. Obviously, once we were back home we went straight back to eating and drinking too much. After all, it is Christmas.
