Ran only 5.2 miles, but through 2 feet of snow, with more falling. I live along the shores of Lake Erie in Cleveland, USA, and we have been in a full blizzard since Friday. Very challenging run. I have my Peral Izumi shoes with Goretex uppers to keep the moisture out, but in snow that deep, nothing keeps your feet dry. Just lifting my knees high enough to take the next step was difficult. Every minute or two, a squall would make it impossible to see. Must say it was great fun.

Today I did a 5 mile fell run. Two Towels and Kaza were there too - nice to see them. Only me and TT took part though. I was pleased with the result (as yet unnofficial) of 40:38 for 5 miles and 900 feet of climb. Oh yes, it was a little challenging in places but STILL not as hard as your run Frank
