About 13k on the garmin and 1200' climb. I ran into some deep drifts (for trying to run in ) on the approach, climb and descent off Knowl Hill stumbling into a snow filled gully up to my rib cage and then with a combined floundering/breast stroke action got myself out
I did feel a bit stronger on the initial climb of this run though so this 'snow training' is paying off
No country for old men.
A lunchtime jog
nice 9 mile run around phillips park,clayton vale,woodhouses & daisy nook
Track rules

Another two hours in the sunshine today- not fast but nice to get some miles in again. More and more compacted snow / ice but O shoes still doing the job.
Back to work tomorrow but may try to run there and back as I am quite into this now and don't have loads to carry tomorrow
Semi melted, rutted, refrozen snow is nowhere near as much fun to run on!
Ran to work today, 2.5* miles pavement/road
Ran back, different route so as to hit Tescos, 3.2* miles
Been using the waterproof off road trainers, which seem to have come into their own. Feet perfectly dry and not hot and sweaty, which seems to be the usually commented on 'con'.
*Simply measured on google earth.
Another trot around the village with the dog - nice and steady but my foot is feeling really good. Loving running on all this lovely snow!
I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.
Trying to plod up hills every day slightly faster than the day before
yesteray easy 4 trail in the dark, stumbling and bumbling in snow drifts but still better than icy roads. mudclaws helped.
today steady 5 trail in bright and freezing dawn. a late shift means running in daylight for a change. Wow this is what he runs look like.
Ha ha still loving it.

Is it meant to be this hard?
