Is it too early to share my running Santa list with you?

No?

Good.

Dear Santa,

I’ve been a good girl sometimes this year, and I have tried my hardest to run well, eat well and blog well. Here are the top five things on my Christmas Wish List:

1. Nike Shield LunarGlides. My fave shoes, waterproofed and reflective. What’s not to love?

2. Ron Hill Vizion Photon Jacket. This is flattering, water and wind tight. And pink. Lovely!

3. Ron Hill LED running cap. Perfect for running on dark nights 😉

4. Lock laces. No more lace malfunctions during runs. Genius!

5. Saucony ladies ruched hoody. Comfy and stylish. My two faves rolled into one!

Santa, do you mind if I sneak in a sixth favourite? If you can’t decide which of these I deserve, these would be good too:

Thank you very much. I’ll remember to leave you a glass of sherry and a mince pie on Christmas Eve, I promise.

Your friend,

What’s on your Christmas running wish list this year?

The Power Cut

Immediately after @TheWelshWookie and I hung our decorations and lit our Christmas tree tonight, the power in our village went out!

😮

Coincidence? I hope so!

And so, this is the briefest of posts, as we’ve already had a couple of false returns to electricity; this may be another!

It’s very snug and Christmassy, though 😉

And the treadmill is obviously not an option this evening!

Advent

Advent

It’s advent! This year, @TheWelshWookie and I have advent calendars. Every year, we have an advent train, that we fill with chocolates every year.
However, this year we succumbed to temptation, and bought advent calendars, too.
TheWookie has a Lindt chocolate one, and he has kicked off advent with a dark chilli cherry mousse chocolate. Here’s his calendar:

I have a zero-calorie calendar, a Yankee Candle one:

My first tea light is a Christmas cookie one, it smells delicious!
It’s lovely, that the first Sunday in advent has actually coincided with 1st December!
Do you have any advent traditions?
