My sensible part of my brain told me not to bother, that it would be dangerous, but then my more daring side told me to go for it - and I decided I needed to get outside for some fresh air as I was starting to get cabin fever at home! So I put the thermal base layers on and headed out...
55 of us braved the snow, and it was my most enjoyable race to date! I love the air when it snows - it's much fresher. The conditions underfoot were fine - actually pretty solid, and you were able to get much more speed than when it was muddy and bogged down.
To top it all off, I managed my fastest time around the course! I hadn't had a PB in a while, and I have to say it came as a bit of a shock - must have been that sprint finish as I overtook another runner in the final stages :) I'm now edging ever closer to that 25 minute target!
Here's me battling the snow - a great way to burn calories as the resistance is high!

| Snow joke - the Park Run went ahead as planned! |
Nice to see another Riddlesdown parkrunner with a blog. I missed this run at Riddlesdown (I went to Old Deer Park parkrun instead) but last year's snowy run was amazing. Good luck with your marathon training!
