Snow Snow and yet more Snow!!!!

What a month it has been for snow in the UK, even we did not escape eith a surprise snowfall on tuesday morning.
I certainly remember there being more snow than we have now, but i can't remember it hanging round for so long after it has fallen, it's usually all gone within a day or so unlike this time.

Fingers crossed some of us are off to the Lancs Cross Country Champs tomorrow, there is quite a bit of snow on the course i gather which should be very nice to run on, certainly better than the deep frozen ruts of last year. I am hoping the snow has filled these ruts and it will be quite soft underfoot.
The difficulty is knowing what to wear on your feet, we obviously won't know till we get there what to use, i have two options, my INOV8 Fell Shoes and a pair of spikes which i haven't raced in for quite a few years. I have bought some new spikes for my shoes which i think would get me up Everest if i wanted!!

We have unfortunately lost Kev Loundes from our team who fell on some ice before Christmas and has bruised ribs and is unable to run. This is a big setback for Kev as i know he would have done really well and been up there at the very front of the race.

Get well soon Kev, we will do our best to fill your shoes and go for a team medal!!!

I am looking forward to the race very much, training has gone as well as i think it could have, and fingers crossed (again!) i have no niggles of any sort to report at the moment, lets hope i am still saying that tomorrow!!!!

Wish us luck that we get there and it all goes ahead!!!!
