‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, and all through the house…..
…..the excitement is building!
I’ve been munching on sprouts: my fave! 🙂
I wish you all a peaceful, fun and relaxing Christmas: unless you are running, then I wish you good weather and loads of good food!
I hope Santa brings you what you need this year 😀
Happy Monday, everyone!
And Happy Christmas Eve’s Eve!
My new Christmas scarf arrived, just in time for returning to work today:
No running for us tonight: it’s wild out there again! But @TheWelshWookie and I do need to agree the distance we are going to run on Christmas Day.
Any suggestions? Are you planning a run for tomorrow or Wednesday?
It’s Friday night, and I’m heading out to a hen night.
So, here’s a photo of my sister’s Christmas Tree, to add to the festive feeling! 🙂
Happy Friday, all!
I’m not a big hugger. Of people, I mean.
But I recently posted about how I hug Christmas Trees! 😮 You’ll find that post here.
Then, I was reminded that I actually hug loadsa stuff!
All things, mind, not so much people…..
Here’s me hugging the 150 years anniversary monument, at King’s Cross Underground station:
And here’s me hugging the R’n’R sign in Dublin:
Finally, for now, here’s me hugging a large garden ornament in Iona:
Sorry, it was a flashless night time pic 😉 Maybe my huggin’ addiction is worse than I thought?
Do you have any weird habits that someone else has pointed out to you?
The events for 2014 continue to gather momentum in the TartanJogger/WelshWookie household: we’ve signed up for the GB Relay 2014!
The aim is to break the world record for the longest continuous relay, around the coast of Britain. Did someone say record attempt? We’re in!
The British coast has been split into 594 stages, and the run is done continuously, 24 hours a day, during June and July 2014.
@TheWelshWookie and I will be running stage 138, from Duror to Strath of Appin Primary School, which is at the very north of Argyll and Bute. Our stage is on 8th June, at 18:19, and our stage is 12.5K long.
We’re really looking forward to being part of such a brilliant event! For ore information, or to sign up, visit GBrelay.com
Has anyone else bagged a stage yet?
@TheWelshWookie and I have signed up for the 5×50 challenge 2014!
This is our second year of participating: we had such fun last year!
Here’s TheWookie sporting his 5×50 challenge t shirt at the Perth Kilt Run earlier this year.
The challenge is to sign up, make a small (or large) donation, and commit to running, cycling, walking (or doing a class, or equivalent) Â 5K each day, for 50 days.
The challenge begins on Sunday, 30th March 2014, and since @TheWelshWookie and I get married on 11th April (have I shared that news? I can’t remember!) the challenge will be running right through our wedding weekend.
That should keep us on the running straight-and-narrow!
We’ve set up a team, #a5x50wedding, which was coined by Raymond Wallace on twitter. Raymond is one of the founders of the challenge, who RT’d my tweet when I signed up on Saturday! Thanks for that, hope you don’t mind that I’ve pinched it!
You can read all about this fantastic challenge here.
Anyone can sign up and join in: will you? Fancy joining our team?
Happy Friday everyone!
It’s Friday the Thirteenth: anyone superstitious out there? If you are, pretend you’re Spanish: they’re fine with Friday the Thirteenth, but not Tuesday the Thirteenth 😮
What have you been up to today? I’ve kicked off a week’s holiday! Woop!
And what better way to spend the day than shopping, eating and drinking with my mum?
We had a great mooch around Glasgow, picking up the final pieces we needed for Christmas. We also had a make up session at Clinique, which was fun! The selfie above is BEFORE the makeover, in case you were wondering!
In keeping with yesterday’s ‘Season’s Eatings’ post, the festive feasting continues. We had tapas for lunch, at Barca in Princes Square: it was delish!
We then had a lil’ refreshment at the Concert Hall before heading home.
I’ve had a lovely day!
Did you all have a good Friday?
Happy mic check day!
1-2; 1-2: get it?
no, not that….. never mind…..
I’m sorry, I seem to be overdosing on Christmas posts: I promise I’ll do my best to throw some running into the blog mix soon! 😮
Tonight, we had our first festive dinner. It was delish. I tried my best to fill my plate with veggies, and I limited my pigs-in-blanket to two, and I only had one stuffing ball. Sprouts are my absolute favourite. I’d happily eat them all the time.
I did add gravy after this, though 😉
I was stuffed. It was a big plate! But still, that didn’t stop me from polishing off this too:
White chocolate, raspberry & marshmallow cheesecake. Just a small slice!
Now I plan to be good. Ish. Until I hit Glasgow for lunch with my mum tomorrow, that is……
Have you begun your Christmas feasting early?
Guess who came to visit the kids in Tarbert tonight?
