Mo arranged a run for families on Christmas Day. I think it's a great idea.

Will be doing 10 later. Why not?
30km yesterday morning, then christmas overload... Today 10km easy in the morning plus 5x3km HM pace in the afternoon. Merry christmas.
Nearly two hours of easy running in the snow this morning after opening presents. Yea!
Nope, already cracked my first beer, a nice Stella Artois
~4.5 miles this morning in breezy ~5 degree weather--glans like an ice cube, man. Not as long as I'd like, but I'll be happy to get in 30-50 minutes easy on the 24th, 25th and 26th, what with familial time constraints.
Merry Christmas!
Ran 12.25 miles, Christmas tradition.
I didnt read the article, but read the quote of the day...
“Of course I’ll be running (on Christmas Day)!” the double Olympic champion told the Radio Times recently. “I’m going to run twice, because my rivals will probably only run once, so I’ll have done more than anyone else.
...for anyone to respond to this quote as if there is a message or meaning to what you do on Christmas Day or what your rivals do or dont do on Christmas Day is overly simplistic and sure nonsense.
The fact that the quote is coming from a double Olympic champion renders the statement no more meaningful than if it came from Mr. Average-Joe-family-man-age-group-recreational runner, as already pointed out on a number of post.
I want to, but cant. My bro brought a bottle of good whiskey. My day is done.
Still deciding if I should do an easy 30 minute run today, or if I should take a day off before my tempo run tomorrow (12/26). So what guiding my decision? Its not the fact that its Christmas Day, but its that I am training according to a plan, and according to where my body is at with respect to the week.
I think the comment about getting an advantage over his competitors was tongue in cheek.
20 mins today as I slowly come back from a hamstring tear
I recommend he trains harder so he can win medal without being doped up

7 miles with some 1600m speed splits.

6miles easy...got 2 "merry christmas" shout outs from fellow runners on the trail.
So what. There are a lot of people running today. Run or not all is fine. If you ran your miles early and u want Christmas off that's OK. Mo Farah is a Muslim and he doesn't celebrate Christmas. Tell him to run on the most important Muslim holiday.
Yes, 5 miles this morning, another 5 this afternoon. Too cold for me to run outside today, so it's 2 TM runs.
