Running in the snow

[Flightless Bird]

My hands were cold though, even with gloves on, so I've decided to invest in some Seal Skinz.

When I was out Tuesday night in the snow with a group of like minded mad people I noted that everyone else was wearing gloves, full leggings, woolly hats etc. I was still in my shorts, short sleeved top and waterproof jacket and I was boiling. Had to take my hat off! Strange how different people feel the cold or not.

I seem to have lost my Porelle Drys..................the missis might have hidden them.

brings to mind the local psychological association when theywent for a run in the snow. I've never seen so many Freudians slip!!

t'other half confused the local chavs and old folks by running past them on his way to meet me from work on the packed snow pavements, all made possible by his inov-8s.

still waiting for PROPER snow here though...the natives are all skiving to go sledging with their kids, but the main roads are clear, hey ho.

I went out for a 10 miler today up Shutlingsloe and then up to Wetstone Ridge. It took longer than normal, and I was getting mild snow blindness by the end (everything was looking slightly twilighty - even though it was midday). I'm not used to having to take shades with me!

The deepest bits were around the stiles and gates, some of the drifts were about 2 feet deep. Great fun!

I reckon Inov-8 Flyrocs are great in urban snow/slush. But to make running comfortable, you have to combine them with waterproof socks. What works for other people?

i had some gortex inov8,they were brilliant with good grip and dry feet.
afriad they have now rotted out as fabric just couldnt cope with being damp.
with hindsight normal inov8 would have been cheaper and just as good.
contacted suplier but they just fobbed me off!
good service goes a long way during credit crunch dear sport shop!
