Thank you for all the advice I have been given about running on ice and snow. I will research and find a solution for me from all your ideas and thoughts!
Having broken my wrist 3 years ago, running on an icy Moel Famau I have not ventured out to run this week.
I found my own short term solution and did today's 5k on my touring skis.
It was fabulous, although even slower than my usual run. I am not really sure why I feel more confident on two planks than I do on my own two feet but there is is.
The weather is changing now and by the time on February 7th when I plan to do my 10k Virtual Run for Cancer Research, it may have all melted but at least I have found a possible way to go if we are still enjoying the delights of the white stuff.
Oh how lovely! Today's sun, blue sky and snow made me sad for the ski holiday we won't be having this year 😢
Yes I was thinking about ski holidays as I went along. Managed Les Arcs last year but my ski touring with the Austrian Alpine Club was cancelled. Lets hope things are different next year. Keep running!
We were lucky enough to be back from skiing in Italy about a week before anyone had heard of Covid 19. Hard to imagine now!
Yes I remember when I heard about it in China, thinking that these things usually pass us by. How misguided☹️
I remember stopping at a motorway services enroute to Italy and watching a news report about a jet that had been chartered by the UK government to bring people back from Wuhan. It talked about them having to quarantine in a UK hotel after they arrived. It all seemed very remote at the time.
