So after two weeks rest after the ultra race in Dec it was time to put on those runners shoes again and head out for a run.

I made a decision after my first ultra race that it is very needed to take a longer rest even if that has consequences but believe that I will stay out of serious injuries so last week it was calves massage, a lot of pain, you realize how tired you are in your legs, but definately worth the massage. I was planning yoga but a good morning time.

Anyway it had not snowed during the night so it won’t be a white Christmas this year and staying in town.

Temperature: 7.5oC (45.5F) so the regular compression tights, red jacket and Christmas hat, no gloves.

Good pace from the beginning, a bit slower at the end. Saying Merry Christmas to the people that I passed, always putting a smile on their faces.

Felt a bit weird running but it has been a while. But now I am starting my action for 2017 and a good running year.

After I have had my Christmas breakfast it was time to head out for a Christmas Eve run. Earlier during the week the plan was 5K but I changed my mind and decided to run the 12.5K run out in the country.

No snow this year, temperature 80C (46F), sunny and blue sky and of course my santa hat

I wanted to spread some Christmas joy and when I passed people I was saying Merry Christmas, most people wished me Merry Christmas too but there were some people not in a Christmas spirit.

So nice to just run and no issues at all. Some upwind when it was around 2K left.

It was nice getting out for a run Before it was time for eating Christmas food.
