Webbed feet

It's Xmas eve and that means the last opportunity to....train of course. The last push before a day off. I had a couple of pals join me as we went trail running rather than splosh through the streets. The forrest run provided some protection however there was severe flooding at one stage and we had to go across a farmers field which doubled the size of my trainers! 15km of splish splosh and avoiding slipping on the mud was fun but one of my pals decided to up the pace in the last 3km and we ended up with a full on race. I was running with my rucksack but it didn't hold me back so I was happy with this progress. Back home and hosed down my trainers before dropping my soaking wet filthy clothing in the washing pile - I'll be popular! So to everyone who visits my blog and keeps me motivated to get out there when it's hosing it down with rain, I hope you have a Merry Xmas and enjoy a break with your family and friends. I'll be back on Boxing Day!
