What is now a tradition with my Liverpool family this run went as we would now expect:
- A family gathering the night before.
- Glasses of Prosecco were had (although not until 4am this time, am I growing old?)
- Food was enjoyed.
- Giggles were a plenty.
What was not accounted for was:
- Auntie Maureen recovering from a chest infection. She was still on top entertainment form but would be unable to run.
- My little niece Jessica being the most ill I have seen her. She puked (a lot). She was forlorn. She was snoozey. She wouldn't be able to run (well be pushed in her usual buggy) either. I didn't enjoy seeing her like this.
So that left me, my sis Natalie, Uncle Steve, Auntie Kathleen, cousin Jacky and her friend Wendy to complete the course. The one year there was a smaller group of us and it was the most beautiful morning there has ever been on a Santa Dash! Gutted the others were missing it.
Uncle Joe and cousin Steph met us down at the dock as usual to support us at the start. The city really looked stunning as the sun rose over the river.
The run went as normal (well aside from the hot competitor just in Santa pants) and the atmosphere was great. Cousin Kate and baby Ethan were lining the course too which was lovely. I believe we (as in all the runners) also broke the World record for biggest Santa Dash. Woo hoo!
Post run we had another family gathering which was a lovely way to round of the weekend. I just wish everyone had been 100% but at least they all were recovered in time for Christmas.
Until next year Liverpool. Love you.

Start line read (with no rain this year!)
Worthy of a World Record
Hot man in pants (Jacky and Wendy approved too)
