Shane the Swede!

As you can tell by the other snaps, we are in a winter wonderland now.

I knew when I woke up that I had to go out and run. I was concerned and it was on my mind. I mean I have never run in snow. Would it be icy? Would it be safe? Would I have the right gear?

It was like Where Eagles Dare when I ventured out as the gentle snowfall turned into a blizzard. The whole of Årstafältet was white and unspoilt. It was beautiful I will try and get down there and take some photos. Thing was, visibility was restricted, the snow was hitting my face and getting in my eyes. It was a head down job.

I really enjoyed it. Hang on whats this. Shane saying he enjoyed running in the snow! Am I becoming Swedish? No!!!!Whats happening to me!

Anyway a nice 6.2kms in 40 mins, that will do!

A few near misses actually Julie. The best being when I nearly ran into a wall of snow! I kid you not!

Sorry Shane. If you were truly Swedish you wouldn’t be running now, you would be on skis. Another couple of years perhaps?

Hi David

I saw quite a few people on skis today.
Of course I was referring more to the fact that I was out in the cold and snow, not letting a blizzard stop me from my normal activities..
