Holiday Run Streak 2019, Week 1

The Holiday Run Streak reared its ugly head again this year.  Starting the Saturday before Thanksgiving and ending the Saturday after New Year’s Day, this time it entails at least 3 miles per day with a weekly update.  Week 1 is not a weak one as it is an 8 day week to cover the extra Saturday at the front end.

 

During the strenuous house refurbishment, I lost a bit of weight (more than 11 pounds/5 kg) despite the work Christmas Do and Thanksgiving.  Some of the runs were in ~7 mile range back to the rental for clean-up and one was over 10 out to make a long-ish effort.  During one of the rental tidying runs I spotted the Lions of the Eat War Memorial somewhere between Oldbury and Smethwick.

The runs were:
3.3 miles: House Day 8, grocery run whilst packing
3.2 : House Day 9: West Brom picking up cleaning gear
3.0 : Day of house move, new neighbourhood and groceries
7.1 : Initial rental tidy trip
3.8 : Loop via Tesco and Red Lion (Thanksgiving provisioning)
6.8 : Final rental tidy trip, early TG morning
3.5 : Xmas Do … had to get it in early
10.9 : Golden Lion Bilston found by running north at sunset
Total Week 1: 41.6 (per day = 5.2 over eight days)

Week 2 arriving soon.
