Well, yesterday Aisha and I went running with a friend in the forest above our house. It has been snowing here constantly since 2 days, which has added nicely to the snow we already have. This is the first time since I have been living here in Austria that we have had a snow covering since the middle of November - and what a covering, it's up to 2m deep in some areas of Salzburg.As you can see the running conditions are fantastic, knee deep fresh snow, snow flakes falling left, right and center. Poor old Aisha doesn't run throught the snow, she has to jump it's so deep - although she still seems to run after any deer and rabbits (and of course cats) - where she finds the power I just do not know!
Anyway, just wanted to share with you some of the pictures of a wonderful winter landscape and the incredible fun we have by running at the moment. I often wish some of my old training buddies like Dion, Louis, Richard, Karin and others were here to experience it. A 75 minutes deep snow run is like running 2 hours on the beach :)Christimas greetings coming soon........

Posted at 02:32AM shouldn't you be asleep... or at least in bed! It looks like fun, and i would have it a guess that it give a new meaning to the turn bush diving... So while your puppy is "dancing" in the snow, ours is swimming in the river, and she is ever s sweet. Hope the snow doesn't keep you from your training, and 75min will never equal 2hours...
Ah Dion, what a shame you weren't here for our run on Sunday - and believe me 75 minutes running in knee deep wet snow, is more than equal to running two hours!
Additionally, even if you have been running regually 2 hours, I would be willing to bet some money that you wouldn't be able to complete a 75 min deep snow run at our pace, not the first time out :) Check with Mr L if you don't believe me!
