Xmas Day Runners

For all the runners out there that like to shake off the Christmas Eve night, to prepare them for the festivities of Xmas Day. Yes, to some people, this is their idea of hell - but to the initiated, there is no better run of the year - the roads are quiet, your city or town you're used to looks different somehow, and people are unusually friendly! Nothing like the camaraderie of the Xmas Day Run!

Whether you do it every year, or you're going to try it for the first time this year, this is the Tribe for you

I am thinking of organizing my own family and friends Christmas 5k this year. Considering my family and friends, it is likely the best way of guaranteeing myself a solo run that day!

I usually have dinner then wait a couple hours and run before bed. I find this takes away that horrible feeling of having eaten way to much. I usually get home feeling less full and ready for bed. Depending how mu...
