Ahhhhh.... Cold Toes!!!!

Decidedly Scottish weather today in our part of Canada. The temperature temporarily peeked it's head above freezing and there is a lot of snow melt & ice. Quite a soggy day all round. We ran to the pool this morning and the roads & sidewalks are just rivers of slush & ice cold water. It's important to keep an eye on your running form in these conditions to avoid any injuries. My toes were so cold I had to keep checking they were still there, especially on the run home into the wind, despite drying my wool socks in the swimsuit spinner & giving them a blow under the hand drier. Ironically looking at pictures of Scotland it seems like they are all out playing in the sunshine this week.

Still, we didn't see anyone else out running today, so in my head we were toughing it out and getting an advantage.

This week is a BIG training week, it's only Tuesday but we are on it so far!!

Happy training everyone.
