I am in a ski resort called Morzine :) Having the most wonderful time.
I have done 2 runs so far!!! Just to set the scene for you:
It is -10 degrees!!!
We are in the mountains - so hills everywhere
That said - it is stunning to run surrounded by mountains, and once I have warmed up (which takes about 15mins in to the run), it is wonderfully refreshing and invigorating.
The hills are brilliant training for me - I hate hills and find them extremely difficult, but after 2 weeks of this I should have improved on hill running.
Today is a rest day and I can tell you it is much needed. I am trying out snowboarding - decided to give the ski's a rest....snowboarding is tough tough tough. So lovely to have a rest today!

London!!!
Right, so for the next 2 weeks I am going to be doing my training in Europe :)
I ran in Hyde Park - London this morning. Sooooo lovely, and also very encouraging as I ran a lot faster than I do in Nairobi due to the altitude - felt great. It was 5 degrees celcius, but the sun was shining so perfect (apart from a rather strong wind in some places).
Met lots of joggers (which is not often the case when Alison and I are running in Nairobi) - and watched people walking their gorgeous doggies which cheered me on my way.
I missed you Alison!!!
If we ever want to do another marathon - let's go for the London one: Nice and flat and lower altitude than Nairobi, so we can shave some minutes off our time :)
