[Antonio247]

Just survived a swift, filthy run in the foulest conditions. Wind, rain, swirling mist, slick mud, rapidly encroaching nightfall ... I loved it. I guess my mojo is still lurking, bobbing up to the surface now and then.

The twelve week weight-watch is over today. There have been a few bumps in the road, not least a couple of overseas trips when I didn't run so much, fell of the wagon once or twice and failed to hit my fat-burn sessions. That said I've held a steady 88 kilos this week, an overall loss of 6.2 kilos, and my wobbly belly is much reduced. After Christmas, when I plan to have a beer or two and my fair share of high-octane grub, I'll hit the fat-burning trail again, aiming for that magical 85 kilos. It'll be tough to get there before Almeria but I aim to give it my best shot.

Happy Christmas to you all. Santa won't be bringing me any running stuff this year (I like to buy my own) but I'm in the market for new boots. Mizuno have an interesting new range out so I'd best get tapping away.

Cheers!

Congratulations on reaching your running, weight and drinking objetives, S. It's a pity you can't be doing the Baños de Sierra Alhamilla run tomorrow, but we could go on Monday the day after the half marathon. By the way, although the website doesn't mention the date, the organisers have confirmed me again that it will be on Sunday 27th January.

¡Feliz Navidad a todos! Happy Christmas to all of you!
