Hi all. After checking the weather app yesterday it said there was a cold snap moving in until Sunday…It wasn’t joking, lol! 🤣 My lovely wife Sarah had made me another one of her fresh coffees and a slice of wholemeal toast with Grenade chocolate spread to fuel me on my journey…Mmmmmm! 😋 I knew i had 11 miles (4 laps of my trail marathon route) to complete today and i really didn’t want to go out…But i did and i nailed it and feel much better now i’ve done it! 💪🏼 😀

Hi, I was thinking of you when going out in this cold as this will be like a summers day for you in Alaska! Yes I’m trying to stay consistent on my training now as I’ve only got three months left until this mighty challenge!

Lol, silly me…Of course your summers are much warmer and without snow! 🤣 I meant to put how cold it gets over there as it gets much colder thatn here. 😀 I think all of this freezing training is just getting me ready for a winter visit over there, lol! 🤣
Yes!! In March, we have transition with longer days of sunshine with cooler temperatures, It is time for the World Ice Championships, our ice has no bubbles and is very clear. https://icealaska.org/images/frontpageimages/final_5e3f3b83117f1400165c0b2b_47715.gif
