For those not doing the Pudding Run there will be a social training run starting from the oval, Pontcanna Fields at 9.30am. This is not a race! It is a training session open to all club members and you can decide the distance you complete. Starting from the oval you can do:-
1) the 10k route by walking over to the stables,
2) the handicap 10 mile
3) the abbreviated Sunday morning special of 12 miles (left at car park past Castle Coch down gravel path then take path down to Castle then back to oval)
4) the classic Col Coq du Noir for those wanting a full 16 miles.
When we all finish (around 11.30am) there will be mince pies/cake (as long as you bring some). Cafe Castan are aware that we will be eating near their establishment and are fine with this as long as we buy coffees etc from them. Just don't go asking for a free flake with your Mr Whippy as refusal can lead to embarrassment.....!!!
All speeds and abilities welcome, the more people that come the more chance that someone of your own pace and distance will also be there.
For all those grumpy people out there it will be a Christmas special run, it doesn't take a lot of effort to wear a piece of tinsel or a Santa hat so get into the spirit of the season.
The general plan is to go for food/drinks after maybe at The Halfway

See you there for some of this run. 16 miles is a bit far for me but I will probably do about 10-12 miles. Because I'm not the runner james is.. I wish i could run like him.. I will skip the mince pies as I can't stand them but sunday lunch sounds good. I also will get in the festive spirit and wear something Christmassy. Edited by user 08 December 2014 21:22:45(UTC)

Ange, thanks for posting this. I've taken the liberty of copying the details & updating the 'Socials' on the LC website. Hope this is OK... Edited by user 24 November 2014 17:23:42(UTC)

I cant run with you tomorrow unfortunately.  I will be running my 17 mile route on my own. Fairly easily after Builth Wells! A tough course today but I really enjoyed it! A few people said afterwards that is how Cross Country should be. The sooner I can fix it so I don't have to miss a fixture the better. I would say its my favourite type of race now. My mantra today was "Its just a short Sospan 10" it definately seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for organising today's run, Ange.
Didn't manage the full distance (again), but wheeling off at Castell Coch gives me and a few others a chance to get back to Cafe Castan and keep the seats warm.
Thanks to Terry and Paul for the craic on the way back to Pontcanna. We're already targeting the Handicap 10.

Great turnout today for the Pudding Alternative Run - as Mike says, thanks for organising, Ange! Hope the Merthyr Mawr race went well for the many members who faced the uniquely hilly sandy start!
