First blog. How exciting!

Whoop whoop! First day of advent and my very first blog! How exciting!

So what will YorkshireRunnerGirl's first blog be about? Running? Er, yeah (blogger's name's a giveaway!) Friends? Course! Be rude not to! Christmas?  Yup, it's allowed now we're in December!

Running highlights:

Running my local parkrun with my friend's 8-year-old son, P, and helping him to shave 45 secs off his PB! He had a look of determination on his face throughout the entire 5k route. Well done P on your well-deserved PB!

Getting in a long run! I'm training for my first half marathon next spring and try to get one long run in once a week. This can be harder than it sounds, especially if I have a busy weekend racing. Felt an achievement to run 8.5 miles after feeling unwell for a few days this week. It was hard going though. The alcohol consumed the night before may not have helped ;)

Getting jealous of my friends' photos on the social networking site showing their first XC of the season in a different league to the one my club participates in. Our first XC is next week :'( They'd had lots of muddy fun so I decided to join one of their clubs as second claim! Bring on a
double dose of mud :D

Social highlights:

Meeting up with the girls,  S, V and D, and the very brave male, D, who survived a night with the girls! We had lots of fun, consumed some alcoholic beverages and had a jolly good catch up :) No choccy tashes this time because we all stayed awake! Thanks S and D for hosting :)

Feeling Christmassy:

Or maybe not ;) The first day of advent hasn't filled me with loads of Christmas cheer. Give it a couple of weeks and I may start to feel Christmassy. Maybe :)

Ok, that's my first blog and it wasn't just about running! I may graduate to adding photos next time :)
