Jeez. What a week! Snow and ice has put paid to the best part of a week's training.It hardly ever snows in London. Regardless, it snowed like a fiend last week. Having managed a 13 mile training last Sunday, we sat in the clubhouse relaxing as the snow began to fall. And it didn't stop until Monday morning.
Being that it hardly snows here they are invariably unprepared for such weather. Very few made it to work on Monday, schools were closed and the city almost ground to a halt. Unfortunately this included the running track. By lunchtime on Tuesday we were told the track was out of action. Often this means a road run instead. Not on ice-covered pavements! No bloomin' way!! And with no thaw until Friday, the week was effectively a right-off.
With 6 weeks of training to go before my marathon in Atlanta this is not good. I'm sooooo jealous of those running half marathons and 10Ks the same day. .....So, jealous.
