The French Alps

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!

Talk later

    Nice one Hon.... I have to say cape town is conducive to sitting drinking good wine and looking at table mountain! ;-)

    Not much on the running front from me as all I've done is a 40min run on the treadmil at the hotel ;-( but alas.... Nairobi I will be full force.

    Enjoy the Alps, and love to carey xx
