Going on the piss overnight with the lads. Even better, getting picked up at 12 tomorrow in an s-class merc.

being pissed on a Saturday at 7pm and not having to go to communion preparation mass on Sunday.

Parkruns in gale force winds. Not giving a **** about time and just racing yourself, the other guys and the conditions. Reason #4,578 that I love running/ racing

The nicest meal I've had in a long long time in Castle Leslie in Monaghan. Wood pigeon for starter, medium-rare venison for main, with some of the nicest sauces and veg possible and a fine red wine to wash it down. Excellent stuff.

How did you find the ballet class. Were you able to keep step with the kids? Is it something you are going to continue with?

Stockpiling 3 pairs of fantastic, discontinued runners, enough to get me through about a year.. That's assuming Dick's Sporting Goods and my cousin in Texas come through for me!

National novice xc - fast, fierce and fun!

Ososlo

Raw vegan chocolate powder in my morning smoothie with fresh pineapple amongst other delights. What a discovery!
Lie on 'till 10, on top of all my commissions and planning what direction to head for to do my run today. North, South, East or West?
The world is my oyster:)

Raves: Crunchy crisp grass underfoot on a frosty early-morning run. A new plan. Random doggy joining you for a couple of km.

Rave: said toddler smiling and saying "Happy day daddy"(in broken toddler hiberno-english) when you pull her out of bed in the morning on your birthday

Trumps my earlier rant by a billion.

huskerdu

Didnt go for a run this morning, because I was just annoyed with the world and myself and the Christmas shopping that I have not done ( I even committed the unpardonable sin of blaming the weather)
Regretted this decision after an hours unsuccessful shopping.

Went for a run, and all is right with the world. The only regret is that I forgot this morning that running is always the answer to a bad mood.

ThePiedPiper

Running 10 miles in a snowstorm and loving it.

ThePiedPiper

My bank gave me back a large sum of money after realising they sold me a financial product incorrectly.. Class Christmas present

Ososlo

When your legs feel good, your body feels good and your health is good and you can run everyday (and no I'm not drunk ) Actually, that's another rave. Training for a race just before Xmas. Everyone else is hungover everyday and I feel super:D

RedRunner

Finishing work for Christmas today! Being back running regularly after lots of injuries and spring marathon training under way! All I need now is for Santa to bring me something nice:)

Krusty_Clown

A 15 hour work day, four hours of lousy sleep, and still getting out for a 10 mile run in horrific conditions, while everyone else is wearing xmas jumpers, stuffing their faces with beer and cheap mince pies, and getting bored watching Die Hard 3 on the tellybox.

Smug much? Abso-fricking-lutely I am.
