It's snowing and we can't see a thing! Pic is the photo I took when we arrived v what we see out the window this morning! A gym and pool day if they aren't too busy ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘โ„

(Edit: this was a misleading post, the bit I missed out was that I don't like skiing - the dream was a for a no-ski day on account of snow! ๐Ÿ™„)

That's a better idea by far! We are actually about to don ski gear and go out there ... ๐Ÿ˜ฑ ... but have the pool and spa booked for the afternoon, so it won't be for long ๐Ÿ˜.

Have you had a fab time....? ๐Ÿค—

linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply to Irishprincess

Yesssss! I earned loads of brownie points by suggesting we try the easy run this morning! Then we virtually had the pool and steam room and saunas to ourselves for an hour or two over lunchtime, then late lunch with cake followed by a walk thru the town in the mist! We picked up this hotel in a last minute, bargain deal which really paid off today ๐Ÿ˜€. No snowman though ... unless I count when I ended up off piste in deep snow, shuffling back uphill on my bum, skis in hand ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ - there was snow everywhere!

Passo Tonale, Italy. My son is in Tignes and it's also a white out today. Tomorrow should be fun!

Snow, lovely photo of the snow, where I live in Central Scotland we have just had our first fall of the winter, had to wait to the end of January, usually the first snow is well before that, at the beginning of December.

Ooh, that looks schnongles as my Irish mother used to say when it was freezing outside. It also looks gorgeous. I think the ability to sit and admire is vital for a runner. Definitely part of the rest day training. Enjoy it Linda.

Oooh... Fresh snow, lovely the next day. We were in Italy ( Cortina) last week. Very beautiful and also quiet BUT>>>> I picked up an injury. Working with Physio to get me back before my HM in March. Have a great time but do take care!

linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply to johnm12

Oh no! It is my biggest fear. Hope the physio can get you sorted. Nice and quiet here once Sunday trippers went home ๐Ÿ˜

I don't fancy ski-ing either...but think the beautiful scenery, hot chocolate (maybe with a bit of something boozy popped in, just to keep you warm), nice food and the gym on run days sounds perfect โ˜•๐Ÿฅƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ. Have a wonderful time ๐Ÿ˜Š

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply to Run46

It really is wonderful, I just wish it was safer and then I could relax and enjoy it! The air is just amazing!

Run46 profile image
Run46Half Marathon in reply to linda9389

Why is it not safe? Or do you mean the sport itself and not wanting to get an injury?

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply to Run46

That's exactly what I mean! It's always scared me. I hate being out of control. I hate the thought that people around me may be out of control. And I know bad things happen on ski slopes when people are out of control. And I want to be able to run on Sunday ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Run46Half Marathon in reply to linda9389

I get you...I'm like that about driving unfortunately which is why I barely do!

Totally understand the fear of not being able to run, it's amazing what changes we make to our lives and how risk adverse we become to anything that may stop us having a run, especially the long one on a weekend! #runningaddicts!
