Friday 19th December 

Gym session - 50 minutes (approx 5 miles) 

Ah, the joys of Xmas parties! The office was a bit of a mess today after we went to the GlitterBall at the ICC yesterday. Grand evenings entertainment with top disco music, acts and good company, but there was a distinct lack of work enthusiasm in the post work-comedown! I'd stuck to Peroni and was home by 1am, so perhaps didn't quite suffer as much, which, with a school run to accomplish this morning, was a very good thing!

Forced myself to the gym after work but avoided the treadmill instead opting for a gentle 20 mins on the X-Trainer, 2000m on the rower and 20 mins on the bike. Felt refreshed afterwards and will look for some good pre-Xmas runs on Sunday and early next week.

Delilah is back from her dodgy sojourn tomorrow; can't wait ….
