Ironman goes cross country

After Saturday off training today was a 7 mile cross country run in very wintry conditions.  But it was a run with a difference - the group ran in fancy dress hence the new picture on the blog.  A few passing motorists almost drove off the road as they watched Ironman, Captain America, Bat Woman, Hong Kong Phooey, Mini Mouse, Pink Panther, Roller Girl to name but a few running through the countryside.
The wind farm can be a spooky place with the sound of the turbines but the views were spectacular.  The mountains were all covered in snow and it looked like a picture postcard.  But it was a hard 7 miles as running in snow isn't that easy.
Full on week of training before a day off at Xmas.  I can't let all the hard work slip over the festive period but I will enjoy a few long lies!
