So as school was cancelled and work would be from the sofa, my son and I decided to go for an expedition to the woods....
The snow here is a good foot and I thought that the woods would be fairly snow free due to the canopy..... erm I couldnโt have been more wrong...
Running in deep snow is flipping hard work... so we took the approach of running for about half a mile then walking. Luckily as we know the woods we knew where the tricky roots and rocky parts were. In the snow everything gets smoothed off like icing on a rough cake. It was so special to run on snow that was completely fresh with just the odd animal footprint in it.
We covered 6 miles and by the end we were so hungry and tired so we stopped off at the corner shop and got some chocolate and pizzas for lunch ๐ฅ
Have fun and take care.... we had a few little trips on the way but we were fine as we kept it super slow...
Great training for the Artctic Marathon ( I really really want to do this one)... anyone interested??
Happy Panthering

Wonderful photos - sounds like the perfect day! I hope my sons and daughter (or any of them) will be eilling to do this with me when they get older. (High hopes for my middle son).
The Arctic marathon looks amazing. I can definitely see you soon g it one day!
Hooray, itโs not often I get to run with him but itโs fab when I do.... and I so hope you get to run with yours. Yes itโs on my list but itโs terribly expensive not to mention challenging!!
Way to go matey, that looks like dead good fun ! ๐๐. Itโs great that your son enjoys it too ๐. I wish mine did. He wonโt even walk. Chip off the old block โน๏ธ
Itโs great to run and get worn out, but in a good way, and then you are saved by a hot drink and a hot meal that is so darned good it just makes it all so much more enjoyable ๐๐๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
I am out in a bit but no hot meal made in readiness. Iโll find something ๐
