1. 30 minute recovery jogs to sweat out alcohol....feel like a new man after...

2. copious amounts of left over beer in the fridge after a house party....

I think I'll be needing to do no.1 again before work tommorow.

Going for a run at home, after spending a week at high altitude. The legs just want to let rip.
Also Irish weather. When it comes to running, we don't know how lucky we are.

And beds decorated in tinsel and lights! I will have to go on rant thread about the amount of hoovering tinsel generates

The threat of Santa as a tool to get young kids to behave, god bless that fat bearded paedo

People who setup park run in their local area and people who volunteer to keep it going.

Running in Dublin city in December.

Lovely night run last night, the city looked fantastic and the weather was perfect.

Through the plaza at the Grand Canal theatre and their cool lighting installations. Then on the Liffey, dotted with Christmas tree lights along the paths which are perfect for running on. Met a few tipsy Santas and ‘sexy’ elves as I crossed the Liffey, heading towards the bright lights of the Convention Centre. The quiet calm of the path towards the O2, an eerily still river, before heading out to the coast with a foggy lit Dun Laoghaire in the distance.

I stayed out for ten miles and fished out my emergency fiver to purchase two beers before heading home.

Due to the incompetency of the Finance Dept., I am now in receipt of a cheque for a nice sum of money dated back from 2005 to present! Sweet

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.

drquirky · 14-12-2013 2:47pm

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

ecoli · 14-12-2013 3:11pm

Falling debris (Tree branches) missing your bonnet narrowly

Don't want Santa bringing a claim for Xmas

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?

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:)
