Monday I did an easy jog round Dyce before the last club swimming session of the year. Swimming was the last club session of the year. This normally means it is just a play session but instead we were given a xmas treat of a solid session to finish the year on.
Tuesday Dexter came to visit and we went out for the first training run of his Xmas training camp. It was a fairly steady run round Dyce for me but in my current form that meant it was pretty quick for Dex. He coped really well at the time but then once we were home he crashed out on the sofa and fell asleep for the rest of the night.
Wednesday the Club run was on so I decided to give Dexter an easy day while I went to that. We just did a steady run instead of the usual fartlek session.
Thursday I went for an early swim at Bucksburn. I planned a long steady swim but was really tired and just did an easy 25 minutes instead. Then in the afternoon I took Dexter for a run at Kirkhill.
Friday being Xmas Day I went through to Elgin as always and went for the tour of Elgin with the Xmas Sprint along the High Street and the Hill race up Lady Hill. With Dexter dragging behind me and not committing to the sprint I was only able to get second place, but the tactical nature of the sprint and the reduced pace meant I still had enough in my legs to win the race to the top of the hill. Although Dexter almost stole that from me himself.
Saturday I just took Dexter to Kirkhill for an easy loop. We did a reverse version of Thursday's run.
Sunday was my usual ride with the Kintore Sunday group. Still keeping it sensibly short I did 35 miles at a steady pace. That probably rounds out my bike miles for the year unless I get a stunning day in the next four, and Dexter has a serious grump about going running.
The running and swimming miles just keep ticking on as the record year continues. I end the year with my longest running week of the entire year and my first week over 25 miles. That was mostly due to Dexter visiting and being on holiday though. At first glance this is a terrible statistic, but with a bit of consideration it is actually further confirmation of how good a year I have had. I managed to run more this year but by doing it in lots of smaller (and often faster) pieces.
