Head torch run from Aberdour, a bit too soon after Mum and Dad's dinner to be entirely comfortable. Down, round the harbour to hawkcraig point, up to the carpark, down on the road to silver sands, then along to the Alcan site on the coastal path and back. I was a bit ho hum on the way out so thought if go for a negative split, but at the turn realised I'd had the be ifif of a tail wind on the way out, and obviously it was slightly more uphill on the way back. Managed it - just. Nice night to be out.

Megan's fundraising XC. Lots of fun had. 2 laps of binning wood. First lap with Lucy, 38mins. Much moaning and cajoling, but she claimed to have enjoyed it afterwards. Must look for cattle prods on ebay before doing this again. Satisfying negative split.

Then off to the wrights after, for much merriment. Wassailing choons, silly dances and someone got a great pic of YP and Ivor drinking prosecco.

To work, and I was going to do more later, but events conspired against me (the school doing a sponsored vomitathon) and I spent the afternoon with Laurence instead. He wasn't that ill, just felt queasy, but that's not surprising as they were practicing for the school carol concert when the people either side of him were sick - on him. Then the smell of sick set another person off, and I think Laurence spotted an opportunity to blag an afternoon infront of the telly by claiming illness. 7 of his class of 28 sent home today. Nice.

The above logistical fail meant I managed to skip a work "Christmas lunch followed by an afternoon of hard drinking" party thing. Probably a good thing. I have been in a :( grump all day.

Pre trotettes Christmas part, jogging around a blackford hill team treasure hunt. Much fun was had. V muddy and I thought it would be a road run so was in flats. Onward to the bar!

V snotty from my cold still, and struggling to breathe up the hills, which I hope is due to illness...

Lunchtime home to pick up box to take to the post office and buy stamps then back to work run. V slow and snotty.
