Lillehammer or bust - bust !

Well after a many weeks of running through snow and ice the better weather came and long runs could once again resume properly - however within two weeks of this happening I was 'posted' to go and work in Sweden and Norway where the snow is deeper, colder and stays much later in the year than the UK.


Although Lillehammer is a beautiful place its not a place you can go do a long run out on the streets in two foot of snow - so reluctantly I have decided that there will be no London Marathon for me this year (first one I will miss in 5 years).


Its a weight off my shoulders to be honest and I can concentrate on being a human again for a few weeks - only a few weeks though !


I will be gutted on the day but knowing that many friends and fellow athletes will be giving it their best shot will help me through it !!


I have skied for the first time ever though and although my style was somewhat unorthodox (mostly on my arse) its something that I enjoyed and will try again very soon - in fact hopefully next week in Norway again.
